and Harry successfully ran a family
business that allowed the family to en-
joy life in their Ventnor, NJ and Palm
Desert, CA properties. In addition, the
couple benefitted by their hard work,

many U.S. states, European trips and
cruises. Shirley is lovingly survived by

Chaville-Fuller (Rich), and Bobbi J.

dren, Cynthia Gutierrez (Wagner),
