Shirley Ann Marconi, 87, of Ringtown passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 19th in her home of 57 years with her devoted husband, Francis ("Jake"), by her side.

Born on February 28th, 1938, in Shenandoah, PA,  she was the daughter of the late Tessie and Willard Dormer.

Shirley's greatest joy in life was her family, and she treasured moments spent with her husband, her children, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren.  She cherished having the opportunity to raise her children in the quiet and beautiful Ringtown Valley.  Shirley and Jake were also life-long campers and enjoyed sharing the joys of spending quality time together while camping with their children and grandchildren.

Surviving Shirley, in addition to her beloved husband of 64 years, are her three children: Janice (husband, Mike) Gifford of Greenville, SC; Dr. Debbie Frey (husband, Steve) of Manheim, PA; and David Marconi (wife, Suzy) of Suwannee, GA.  Shirley and Francis were blessed with 7 grandchildren (Jessica, Rachel, Scott, Justin, Chelsea, Emily, and Megan) and two great-grandchildren (Kolton and Kinsley).  She is also survived by her brother, Ronald Dormer of O'Fallon, Illinois, as well as several nieces and nephews.
