Shirley Geraldine Harding, 86, of Wernersville, passed away peacefully in Spruce Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation on Thursday, January 25, 2018.
Born in Mohnton on August 19, 1931, Shirley was a daughter of the late Irvin and Edna Mae (Witmer) Harding. She was a graduate of Mohnton High School.
Shirley was employed with New Holland Agriculture, the former Sperry Rand Corporation for 54 years before semi-retiring. Later, she was employed with Redner's Market as a deli clerk for several years and with API Technologies as a secretary before retiring completely at age 78.
Shirley was very active and never sat still. She was an avid golfer and bowler, and often enjoyed walking for miles a day. She traveled all over the world. She loved family outings, vacations, picnics and gatherings. Shirley was considered the life of the party and enjoyed just hanging out with her many friends. She was glad the Eagles were heading to the Super Bowl since she was a huge fan.
