Help Honor Shirley Colman's Memory

Shirley Elona Colman, (Altorelli), age 74 of West Hatfield, MA passed away on Sunday, September 8th, 2024 at the Elaine Center of Hadley, MA from the end stages of dementia.

She was 1 of 9 siblings.

Shirley and her husband, Frank Colman were married for 50 years.

She was the mother of 3 independent children. She had 5 beautiful grandchildren.

Shirley enjoyed time at home, reading, tending to her garden and playing cards. She had the power of intuition and empathy. It guided her through life. She was kind-hearted and always put others before herself. That's what made her such a great nurse for over 30 years.

She was strong, told you like-it-is, supportive, had classic style and a flare for the dramatic.

She will forever live in our hearts.

The funds will be used to pay back the loan for the funeral/cremation services. It will allow us to have a memorial service, where her loved ones to come pay their respects and have a proper goodbye.

Which is why I am asking for help to make this memorial happen for her.
