Shirley Ann (Shaw) Thorburn, of Lincoln, joined the Lord on July 25, 2018. She was born on February 21, 1939, in Friend, NE to Doyt W. and Esther (Larson) Shaw. Shirley was the third of four children. The Shaw's were beloved and respected by everyone in the small towns they lived and provided to those who had less.
Shirley and her husband met in summer of 1955, after Will returned from service in Tripoli Libya. "Will" was smitten with Shirley while stationed at the Lincoln Airforce Base. Shirley followed him back to his family home in Melrose Ma, where they later married at First Methodist Church November 29th, 1958. After several years, the couple moved back to Lincoln to raise their family and be close to Shaw family and relatives. Shirley worked many years as a bank loan officer and later retired from Goodyear Rubber.
Shirley was loyal to everyone, she loved and dedicated to the lord. She made everyone, even animals, feel both special and loved.
----
Doyt and Esther Shaw raised their children with integrity, teaching their children by example a hard work ethic, love and care that spread among others in community.
Shirley's passion was horses, would clean stalls for the opportunity to train and ride bareback. Shirley was known as the pretty tomboy working on and racing cars side by side with her brothers Doyt and Jim, she even raced trains across the tracks from her parents' home to work. Shirley was her little sister Mary Ann's protector.
Aunt Shirley, Momma Shirley, Mom. made you and your friends feel "Special" and welcome to stay and play and eat macaroni and cheese at the Thorburn's.
You never left Shirley without "lots of hugs and lots of kisses". As Always, an "I Love You". More times than you could count…
God Bless You Shirley Thorburn!
