In loving memory of our beloved Shirley Ann McGinnity.

Shirley Ann McGinnity was born February 8, 1937 in Ironwood, Michigan, and she entered heaven June 21, 2024. She was the daughter of William and Isabelle Mundt. She grew up in Milwaukee, WI, and married her high school sweetheart, Michael McGinnity. They have been happily married for 66 years and had just celebrated their anniversary this month.

Together they welcomed four children into the world. Daniel, Kathleen (Louis), Timothy (Alyssa), and Mark (Laura). Not only was Shirley a devoted wife and mother, but she was also the most loving and caring grandma to her eight grandchildren and one great grandchild, Ryan, Christopher, Alisa, Justin, Eileen, Shawn, Grant, Scott, and Parker.

She had a career as a nurse, and enjoyed working in surgery. She was skilled and competent and took care of patients as if they were her own family.

Whenever you met Shirley, you met a life long friend. She was the most generous, kind, and non judgemental Christian woman and everyone enjoyed her fellowship and sense of humor. Everywhere she went would always become an adventure.

She attended Grace Bible Church for many years and always considered it her church home. She was a loving child of the Lord, and enjoyed putting people together to help one another. She started a ministry and called it The Sharing Place. People would tell her of a need and she would find someone to fill it. This blessed so many families. She made it her life long mission to help others.

She will be greatly missed by her family. To be loved by her was truly a gift from God. She was a true reflection of Christ's unconditional love, and her absence will be forever felt by the ones she has sadly, yet only temporarily, left behind. We intend to live every day with her love and kindness in our hearts.

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised."

Proverbs 31:25-30
