Shirley (Dickerson) Harker
Shirley (Dickerson) Harker
She was born on April 19, 193, in Three Rivers, Mich., to Olga (Ferguson) and Merrill Dickerson.
She married Wayne Harker on Sept. 16, 1950 and resided in Sturgis, Mich.
Shirley worked as an office manager at Readmore Bookstore and also at Kirsch while raising their three children. Upon retiring in 1996, she and Wayne moved to Altoona, Fla.
After Wayne's passing in 2004, Shirley lived in Charlevoix, Mich. and then settled in Rhinelander.
Shirley enjoyed spending time with her family, reading, crossword puzzles, road trips, and watching the birds and squirrels.
Shirley was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Wayne, son Charles Harker, son-in-law Harold Horstman, and nephew Carl Lahrke.
Living on to remember Shirley's lighthearted sense of humor and devotion to her family are her children: MaryAnn Horstman (Lansing, Mich.), Merrill (Joe) Harker (Indian River, Mich.), and Tammy Harker (Rhinelander); sister Donna Lahrke, brother-in-law Lanny (and Patti) Harker; grandchildren: Karena (and Bill) Sherlin, Joseph Horstman, April (and Mike) Sikorski, Aubrey Schoneboom, Leah Schoneboom, Carl Christopher, and Forest Stachoviak. She had seven great-grandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of Life will be held in the summer of 2021.
Memorial contributions may be sent to Tammy Harker for a Friendly Village Nursing Home bench in memory of Shirley.
