From Mission Parks Funeral Chapels:
Shirley Vivian Gade Konze, passed away peacefully Saturday, May 6, in Austin, Texas. She was 96.
Shirley Konze was born in Lewisburg, Ohio, on October 6, 1920, to Lydia Shirley and Raymond Gade. At 17, she entered nursing school in Dayton, Ohio, and after graduating attended Ohio State University. She served as a lieutenant in the Navy Nurse Corps in the Pacific theater during World War II. Soon after the war, she met her future husband, Bodo C. Konze, an Army Air Force pilot. They were married on Guam in 1947 and eventually settled in San Antonio.
Shirley had a special way of brightening the days of those who knew her. She loved playing cards, gardening, and especially spending time with her grandchildren. Her quick wit and original sense of humor lasted until the end.
