Shirley Jean Kahle
Shirley Jean Kahle, of Corry, PA, passed away peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by her loving
family and her loyal dog, Ryder, by her side.
Born on Christmas Day in 1934 in Dagus Mines, Pennsylvania, she was a cherished daughter of Freida (Saline) and Howard Timblin.
A devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, Shirley’s life was a beautiful testament to love and family. She was a dedicated homemaker whose warmth and kindness filled every room she entered. Her home was a place of comfort, laughter, and the irresistible aromas of her fabulous cooking, a gift she lovingly shared with those she held dear.
Shirley found immense joy in spending time with her grandchildren, making memories that will forever be treasured. She was also a steadfast supporter of her late husband Richard Kahle’s band, Joint Effort, always cheering him on with pride and devotion.
She is survived by her three loving daughters, Vicki Craciun (William), Michelle Hammond (William III), and Tricia Cross (Andrew), as well as nine cherished grandchildren and twenty- one great-grandchildren and 8 great-great-grandchildren.
She is now reunited in peace with her beloved husband, Richard Kahle, and her dear daughter, Julianne McCarty.
Shirley’s legacy of love, kindness, and unwavering family devotion will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
A private service will be held for family only to honor Shirley’s life and memory.
Rest peacefully, dear Shirley. Your love will forever guide us.
