Shirley Mae Wiggers was born in Detroit, Michigan on May 31, 1932, the daughter of Violet Wiggers. She married Lowell A. Frye on June 5, 1949, in Rock Island, Illinois. She was a loving wife, devoted mother, doting grandmother/great grandmother, loyal friend and faithful servant of the Lord most recently in her home church, Christ Church of the Quad Cities. She was an incredibly talented artist and decorator, a music lover and a gifted cook. Her sense of humor made everyone smile and she never met a stranger. She loved to dance with her one and only partner, Lowell, the love of her life for 65 years, and to share times of fellowship with family and good friends.
