Shirley Yates Meisburger, 90, passed away, Sunday, February 11, 2018 at Mercy Living Center where she had resided for the past year.
She was born October 10, 1927 to the late Lawrence and Faith Bailey Yates. Shirley married Dick Watt Meisburger on May 12, 1951 and they lived in Boston and Hamburg, N.Y. with their daughter until they moved to Tupper Lake in 1983. They were married just short of 60 years when
Dick pre-deceased her on February 2, 2012. Shirley loved gardening and nothing was more important to her than taking care of her family.
 In her early married years she taught Home Bureau. She was always sewing, braiding rugs, embroidering and quilting. For many years she was a member of the Raquette River Quilters, sharing her exquisite quilts with family and friends.
Shirley leaves behind her daughter, Robin Jane Meisburger of Niagara Falls, her niece, close friend and caregiver, Barbara (John) Poole of Tupper Lake and a sister, Patricia (late Robert) Andrle of Eden, N.Y. She was pre-deceased by her sisters, Genevieve (late Raymond) Sutter, Marge (late Alvin) Mecklenburg and brothers, Donald (late Helen), Warren (late Rena), Laurence (late Dolores "Deli") Jr., and Kenneth (late Patricia) Yates. In memoriam in Shirley's name, if desired, should be to a charity of one's choice. There will be no service at Shirley's request.
