BRANDON — Shirley Ann Trombley, age 87, passed away on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2022, at Helen Porter Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center.

Shirley was born at Porter Hospital in Middlebury on Sept. 18, 1935. She was the daughter of Emery and Catherine (Murray) Muller. She grew up and then raised her five children in Middlebury.

In her earlier years she worked at Desabrais Laundry, then Abrams Department Store, and later was a caregiver for her mother and a few other special ladies in her Cornwall home.

She enjoyed her beautiful flowers with her green thumb, birds and many fun nights of playing Scrabble with her sister and friends. But her biggest pleasure came from her family and grandchildren.

She is survived by five children: Paul (Debbie) Many, Michael (Diane) Many, Cathy Blaise, David (Liz) Many, and Darrell (Diane) Many. Several grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren also survive her.

Graveside services will be held on Friday, Nov. 11, at 1 p.m. in Evergreen Cemetery in Cornwall, with the Rev. Robert Bove pastor of the Brandon Baptist Church officiating.

A celebration of her life will follow the service at the home of Mike and Diane Many in Leicester.

Memorial contributions in lieu of flowers may be made in her memory to Brandon Area Rescue Squad, PO Box 232, Brandon, VT 05733.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Sanderson-Ducharme Funeral Home.
