Shirley E. Maslowski, age 74, of Thorp, passed away on Tuesday, October 27, 2009, at Wissota Health in Chippewa Falls. 
 

Shirley Elaine Moen was born on April 5, 1935, in Withee, WI, the daughter of Chester and Leona (Nindorf) Moen.  She was raised in and received her education in the Thorp and Withee area.  She graduated from Withee High School in 1953. 
 

She married Edward Maslowski in 1954 at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Chicago. They later moved back to Wisconsin and farmed until 1975.  Shirley worked at the Thorpedo restaurant for five years, and then at ITT Life Insurance until the company moved out of town.  She then worked as a baker for the remainder of her working days. 
 

Shirley loved to travel, play cards and games. She always had a book near at hand.  Shirley liked to have fun and didn’t take life too seriously.
