Obituary of Shirley M. Poulin

Shirley M. Poulin "Jean" of Tucson, AZ, passed away peacefully on Sunday July 27, 2014. She was 79. Shirley was born on February 22, 1935 in Methuen, Massachusetts. Nana dedicated herself to her family. One of her greatest roles was simply "Nana". There was never a dance recital, sporting event, or Christmas pageant that she missed. She was her kids and grandkids number one fan and biggest cheerleader. There is not a friend of her children or grandchildren who didn't love Nana. In her spare time she enjoyed playing cards, BINGO and Keno. She was always happy to be camping and fishing with her family on vacation. Nana's loving heart and feisty spirit will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Shirley is survived by her son, Kim (Lorraine); daughter, Kathy and son, Kevin; ning grandchildren and five great-grandchildren and predeceased by her daughter, Karen A. Clark and beloved dog, Fonzy. - The only thing better than having you as our Mom was our children having you as their Nana.
