Shirley Ewert

Mark and I are saddened to hear of Shirley’s passing. We are grateful for the times we got to visit with Shirley when we visited Mark’s family in Madison. She was a wonderful friend to Mark’s mom Judy.

I didn’t know Shirley but I now live in her family home. The house has been well-loved and taken care of. We feel her presence and try to honor her memory by being kind neighbors as well.

Shirley was always a bright spot at red hat events. She was welcoming and a beautiful person.

Shirley may have saved my life. During the Wednesday morning Bible study at Lakeview, in August 2022, Shirley’s training and instincts as a nurse kicked in when she noticed I was periodically laying my head on the table. She kept an eye on me and urged me not to ignore the room-spinning dizziness I was experiencing. Sure enough, the leads on my recently installed pacemaker had malfunctioned, and my heart was stopping intermittently in 4- to 6-second intervals. If it hadn’t been for Shirley, I might not be here to tell this story.

I worked with Shirley for several years at St Mary's. She was a dedicated Nurse and i enjoyed working with her. My condolences for your loss of such a great lady. RIP My Frienda
