Shirley Casterlin of Cornwall, NY entered into rest on Thursday, October 18, 2018. She was 97 years young.
The daughter of the late William and Helen Carney Brunner, she was born on March 13, 1921 in Newburgh, NY.
Shirley walked all over town, especially to St. John's Episcopal Church every Sunday and religious holiday - until Easter Sunday four years ago when she fell before church and broke her hip.
Shirley was an amazing person. She had a gentle and humble soul, and loved her prayer book. She was a caring and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great grandmother. Her smile and encouragement will be missed beyond words by her entire family.

She was predeceased by her husband, Russell Casterlin, son Kenneth Casterlin, brothers Harry and William Brunner and son-in-law Walter Bunt.
