Shirley Webster, 87, of Lebanon, PA, passed away peacefully on June 10, 2026.
Born on Sept. 29, 1938, in Lebanon, PA, Shirley lived a full and vibrant life marked by love for her family, friendships, and simple joys. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose warmth touched everyone who knew her.
Shirley was preceded in death by her beloved husband, David Webster; sisters, Betty and Mary; and brother, George.
She is survived by her brother, Ed (Carol); and sons, David (Amy), Michael (Joann), and Tim. She also leaves behind her cherished granddaughter, Elizabeth (Ron); and grandsons, Mikey (Lauren), and Mark (Samm). She is further survived by her grandchildren, Autumn (Greg), Jessica (Ian), Mary (Matt), and David.
Shirley was the proud great-grandmother of 13: Mackenzie, Connor, Maddie, Macy, Molly, Mason, Angeline, Natalee, Elliott, Lillian, David, Aila, and Ivan.
In her later years, Shirley was devotedly cared for by her former daughter-in-law, Edna, whom she proudly considered her best friend. It was a relationship that brought her great comfort and companionship.
Shirley retired from Hershey Foods after many years of dedicated service. She found joy in playing bingo and enjoyed many spirited games of rummy. Rarely was she without her favorite drink, Diet Coke. She also treasured the 32 years spent traveling with her dear companions, Mary, Kathy, and Don — years filled with laughter and cherished memories.
