IN 1947, while at the University, she married David Wilbur Day. They were married for 55 years and raised four sons. They made homes in many parts of the country, but settled back in Iowa City/Coralville twenty-three years ago.

Shirley especially loved her grandchildren and looked forward to their visits to Iowa City. She was an enthusiastic photographer and generously distributed her pictures to friends and relatives around the country. Shirley was a loyal Hawkeye supporter, backing the College of Business and many sports teams.
