Margaret Mary "Shirley" Demange, daughter of Mary Cleary and Samuel Willis of Port Washington; sister of Jane Myles and Bruce Willis; mother of Adele Mary Tschupp; mother-in-law of Jim; grandmother of Jason, Jacqueline and Jimmy, was called to the Lord on April 30, 1998 to her final rest.

Shirley chose to give her life to others as a nurse. She graduated from St. Vincent's in 1942 in time to join the Navy on the hospital ship, the USS Repose in WWII. Nursing was her lifelong gift to many in need who passed through the doors at LIJMC. Her many long years of work now complete; her purpose of life fulfilled; her covenant with the Lord attained...now may she receive the salvation of God.
