Shirley Ann Green, 82, Green Bay, passed away in the early hours on February 5, 2022. The daughter of Lawrence and Minerva (Haines) Howell was born in New Jersey on February 25, 1939.

Shirley worked for years as a laborer and most recently in janitorial services at the Oneida Casino. She loved being "Grandma Sassy," playing on her iPad and ending all of her Facebook comments with "Love, Grammy."
