Jumper, her sister, Geraldine “Sis” L. Seburn, and her son-in-law Douglas P. McNaughton Sr.

Kim Nocho, of Mechanicsburg; her four grandchildren: Tabatha Barnes, Douglas McNaughton Jr., Jonathan Spencer, and Christopher Spencer; her brother, Mervin Jumper; and her sister, Martha Spencer.

Shirley graduated from Carlisle Area High School as part of the class of 1962.  She enjoyed a long and successful career as a legal secretary, first at Morgan, Lewis and Bockius LLP, then at McNees Wallace and Nurick LLC, and finally at Angino and Rovner, P.C. where Shirley served as Mr. Angino’s executive secretary until her retirement.  Mr. & Mrs. Angino stayed in touch with Shirley during her retirement and until her death.  Shirley was a member of Chestnut Grove United Methodist Church in Dillsburg.  She was an exceptional gardener, both flower and vegetable.  She loved the time she spent in the garden.  Shirley enjoyed crafting which included drying flowers and sewing color guard flags for the award winning Mechanicsburg Area Senior High School Marching Band.  She loved to travel and to meet new people and would frequently cruise as a solo traveler.  Family vacations to North Wildwood, New Jersey were a special treat especially since she loved the sun and tanned well.  Her daughters remember their mother as loving and hard-working and will forever smile and laugh as they recall her “Momisms”.  She will be truly missed and will forever be remembered.
