Shirley was born on November 18, 1925, in Seattle, Washington, to Rev. G.A. and Helfred Herbert and graduated from Rufus King High School in Milwaukee, WI. Shirley obtained a business degree from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, where she was a member of Alpha Chi Omega sorority. Shirley will be fondly remembered as the heart and soul of the Ingraham family, devoting her life to the love, well-being and friendship of her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She also proudly took care of her mother and sister for many years. Her family, her faith and her Swedish heritage were life's greatest blessings to Shirley. We will miss her great listening skills, reassuring presence, unwavering support and gracious elegance.
