Shirley Claris Morley, age 88, passed away on May 4th, 2025, at Meadowbrook Nursing Home Chetek, Wisconsin. Shirley was born on February 9th, 1937, to Beatrice and Raymond Davis in Dallas, Wisconsin.

Shirley was joined in holy matrimony to Dennis L. Morley in May of 1955. To whom two children were born, a daughter Shawn [Frank] Welch of Rye, Colorado, and a son Dana [Jeannette] Morley of Alamo, Texas. Shirley devoted her life to serving in numerous ways to the Chetek Luthern Church and Chetek City Council. Her heart was completely captured by the children whose lives she touched in over thirty years with her Day Care Center. When asked about her retirement from her daycare, she would say she so misses the voices and laughter of the children.
