My husband Jeff loved her hypnosis so much he kept going. Finally, Shirley said I can't do any more for you! He loved the relaxation and subsequent focus he gained from her therapy. I went to her 1 time to quit smoking. I thought I needed to come back, she said No, I think you are done! and she was right. She was a brilliant, gifted woman with a sense of humor. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. Linda and Jeff Barchie, St. Pete, FL

Grandma Shirley, you've been a special part of my life for over 42 year's. I thank you for all the love and understanding you've shown me when my own family turned away. I'll never forget our talks and time wesaw each other. Sorry it wasn't more often. I know now your not in pain and I'll never forget you. I love you Grandma, forever in my heart and now one of my Angel's. Thanks for loving me and excepting me. 🕊️🙌💗💙
Our deepest condolences to all of Shirley's family & friends. Always enjoyed chatting with her when she came up to Michigan to visit.
Praying for Shirley Durka RIP
Gentlest Heart of Jesus
Ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in purgatory, have mercy on the soul of thy departed servant.
Be not severe in thy judgment, but let some drops of precious blood fall upon the devouring flames and do thou, O merciful savior, send thy angels to conduct thy departed servant to place of refreshment, light and peace.
I have a lot of memories of Aunt Shirley that have spanned over 46 years. She hypnotized me for the first time, swimming in her pool, had many laughs in her house in Seminole and all the smiles she gave me along the way. You will be missed Aunt Shirley!
In this time of your loss, we lift you up in prayer. We pray that in your sorrow, you'll find that God is there. And though we can't be with you, you're in our thoughts each day.
For we will always remember you, when we kneel to pray.
Love and hugs, Ron, Diana and Madison
Rest In Peace Aunt Shirley! My deepest Condolences to my cousins. Love you all… Kim
