Kathleen (Kathy) was a tenacious woman with a passion for dance. She spent
many years practicing, and performing for various events, such as shows for
the U.S troops. Kathy credits her father for her dance career, a man who she
described as a wonderful performer, and dancer.

Despite a promising dance career, Kathy decided to follow in the footsteps of
her mother, and enter the medical field. She spent over 40 years caring for
others with an amazing bedside manner. Kathy viewed every patient as a
human, not as a diagnosis, and treated everyone the way she would have
liked to be treated.

The absolute best job that Kathy ever had was that of a mother. She sacrificed
everything, to give her children the best possible life. The song lyrics “She’s
an everlasting shoulder, She’s the leaning post of life” describe her perfectly.

Kathy’s favorite pastimes were gardening all year round, cooking from scratch,
especially for large family gatherings, decorating to the extreme for every holiday,
watching every dancing show, writing, and becoming a published author, just for fun.

Kathy also had a great sense of humor, and loved to pick on the family in the
funniest ways. At the bottom of her will she states, “Just keep a good laugh going
from time to time, if not daily. Enjoy life, don’t sit back and let it pass you by with
work or stress”.

Kathy is preceded in death by her grandparents, Charlie and Hattie Wells, also
her parents, Irene (Wells) and Irving Brewer. She will deeply missed by her
children Kimberly (Joseph), Kristin, and Benjamin, as well as her eight grandchildren,
Jamie, Tristan, Mackenzie, Colton, Jonas, Peyton, Ceres, and Fallon.
Kathy will also be dearly missed by her sister Maureen (William) Goede, Elaine Cruz,
and brother Michael (Tammy) Brewer.

Kathy’s infallible love, and mesmerizing spirit will be greatly missed by all
who knew her best.


**Life may not be the party we hoped for... but while we're here we may as well dance.**

At the end of our life, we shall be remembered for our love.

Shirley came into the world as the beloved child of Elizabeth and Harold Scholz, along with her siblings Paula, Tom, and Karin. Growing up, she especially adored dance and ultimately performed with the award-winning McCluer High School pompom squad. After nursing school, Shirley excelled through a 32-year career in pharmaceutical sales with Roche/Genentech; she generously mentored younger salespeople, earned top sales awards, and was beloved by her colleagues as well as the doctors and staff she called on. Shirley danced with passion and flair, golfed with extraordinary skill, wielded a sewing machine like a pro, and brought her eye for beauty to her interior decorating. She affirmed her friends, and she made us laugh with her clever sense of humor. In her last years she focussed on giving back to others in need through her volunteer work. Above all, Shirley’s legacy is one of genuine commitment and love for her friends and family. She is remembered for her vivacious spunk, her joyous laugh, and her giving heart.

We invite you post your remembrance of Shirley, your favorite story about her, or photos, videos, or music, for family and friends to enjoy.

For those wishing to honor Shirley’s memory, we invite you to contribute to Planned Parenthood or the charity of your choice.

Helen's profession as an R.N. exemplified her compassion and caring for people in need, especially children. She found working as a neonatal nurse most fulfilling and, later in life, she enjoyed volunteering with handicapped children. Helen was blessed with a beautiful soprano singing voice and enjoyed singing at weddings and other events. Her love of animals meant her home always had at least one dog or cat as a pet and she supported animal rescue organizations. Active and social with a zest for life, Helen enjoyed golfing, bowling, tap dancing, playing bridge, movie-going (she loved classic romances and suspense movies) and cooking (her specialties were homemade Italian dishes such as manicotti, lasagna and linguini with calamari, as well as Cornish pasties, a popular dish in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where she grew up). Helen was a wonderful, loving and supportive mother to her two children, Lorie and Michael, their spouses, Christopher and Rachel, and she adored her two beautiful granddaughters, Taylor and Micaela, visiting them often in Dallas until she could no longer travel. Helen was generous, she had a great sense of humor and a joyful laugh you couldn't miss. She loved to throw dinner parties for her friends and her table was always set beautifully to make you feel like a special guest. Helen's beloved dog, Pearl, could always be found at her side and she was with Helen until the last moment of her long, full life.
