Dear Zier Family
Joyce and I were saddened to learn of Shirley’s passing.
She was a loving Wife and Mother and the matriarch of here family. She will be missed by all that knew her.
Dear Zier family,
I have many fond memories of Hadassah gift wrapping with Shirley at the Warwick mall. In later years she was very warm and welcoming to my mom at Tamarisk.
Her memory is forever a blessing.
Shirley taught with me at Gladstone Street School in Cranston. My sons had her when she was a guidance counselor at Garden City School.
Shirley was a wonderful teacher and a very special person. She will be missed.

To the Zier Family
I met Shirley when I started volunteering at Tamarisk and had dinner with her and my cousin Ruth Siperstein.
May your memories help during this difficult time.

Shirley was such a lovely lady! We knew her from Temple Beth Torah days. May her memory be a blessing.

My mother, Arleen, shared a long friendship with your mother. She respected her intelligence and enjoyed her company.
