Shirley Jane (Seeholzer) Schreiner passed away peacefully at the age of 82 in her home surrounded by family on January 13, 2021 after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at Thanksgiving. Shirley was born on Kelleys Island, OH to Carl and Laura (Martin) Seeholzer on February 12, 1938. She was raised on Kelleys Island and graduated from Estes School.

She worked at Hinde & Dauch in Sandusky and Mack’s Market in Attica where she made many lifelong friendships. She also provided childcare for her grandchildren up until her diagnosis as well as many other children whom she loved dearly. She was devoted to her kids and grandchildren and loved attending their sporting and music events. Shirley was actively involved in the Catholic Church as a member of the Rosary & Altar Society and former CCD teacher.
