Shirley Jacqueline Richey, age 79, of Wyoming, was called home to be with Jesus after a courageous battle with dementia on Tuesday, January 28, 2025. Shirley was a kind and loving mom, grandma (affectionately known as “grandmoo”), sister, and friend. She treasured her family and was a huge supporter of all of their activities. She enjoyed playing games and would always be up for any activity her grandchildren would want to do. Over the years she enjoyed her many pets and outdoor friends. Shirley retired from Hope Network in 2011 after 20 years of dedicated service. She was preceded in death by her brother, Ernie Shusta; and her parents, Peter and Mary Shusta. She will be lovingly remembered by her daughters, Andrea (Kyle) Richey; Kathleen (Anthony) Cheeseman; son, Mark Richey; her granddaughters, Kyaira, Katelyn, Autumn, and Kadence; nieces, Sara and Mary; and nephew, Jeff. At Shirley’s request, cremation has taken place. A private burial will take place at Rosedale Memorial Park. In Shirley’s memory, those who wish may make memorial contributions to the Alzheimer’s Association.
