Shirley Heeks
March 9, 1932 — February 11, 2017
Shirley grew up in Rochester and graduated from Monroe High School. She attended the University of Rochester and graduated with a BA in English and a Master's in Education. While at U of R Shirley met Bob, a U of R coed and they were married in 1955.
Outside of her family Shirley's biggest passion was helping other people. She was active with the CCD program, Social Concerns Ministry and was a Eucharistic Minister at St. Joseph's Parish in Penfield. She was a loving caregiver to both of her parents and many others, as well as a full-time driver taking the kids to all of their activities. She was charming, very fun-loving, loved people, adventure, and was an avid traveler. Above all Shirley put everyone else's needs before hers.
The funeral Mass will be held on Saturday February 18, at 2:00 p.m. at Saint John the Baptist Catholic Church in North Bennington, VT. A celebration of Shirley's life with family and friends will be held at a date to be announced this summer in Canandaigua.
