Miresse, Shirley A. (Nee Corrigan ) Born to Eternal Life Thursday, October 1, 2015. Age 90. Beloved wife for 67 years of the late Arthur "Art". Dear mother of the late Steve (Leigh), Sandy (Bob Loos), Bruce (Luann), Joe (Vickie), Jim and Tony (Geneen). Loving grandmother of Cindy (Tony) Seaman, Steve (Lisa) Miresse, Jack Rice, Cori (Rob) Kaminsky, Vince (Gina) Miresse, Angie (Jim) Benjamin, Dan (Karen) Miresse, Mike (Theresa) Miresse, Michelle (Matt) Adamski, Nick, Tom and Christine Miresse, Kim and Mark Miresse, Tami (Bob) Molthen, Matt (Gina) Kangas, 14 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.

Visitation Tuesday, October 6 from 9:30AM until time of Memorial Mass at 10:30AM at CLEMENT MANOR CHAPEL, 3939 S. 92nd Street, Greenfield. Interment Wisconsin Memorial Park, Brookfield. In lieu of flowers, memorials to Clement Manor appreciated. Shirley was a charter member of St. Margaret Mary Church in Milwaukee. She was a loving mother and home maker, and was primarily responsible for raising her 6 children (during which, some would argue, she should have earned her sainthood). Once the children were older, she and Art would organize trips through their church and were able to travel to many wonderful destinations around the world. Mom, we know your final destination will be the best of all. We love you and we will miss you. We would also like to thank the dedicated staff at Clement Manor for the care and love they provided mom in her final years.
