Born on Oct. 11, 1933, in Port Trevorton, Shirley was a daughter to the late John and Harriet (Lenig) Weaver.

After graduating from Selinsgrove Area High School in 1951, she married the love of her life, Norman Markley.

Shirley's dedication to her family was unwavering. She supported her husband, Norman, through every season on the farm, always finding time to nurture and nourish those around her.
