In 1953, Shirley married H.J. (Doc) Casten and they had resided in Cedar Rapids from nearly 50 years. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Casten moved to Clarinda to be near family.
Shirley is survived by two children, John (Jane) Kovarik of Gladstone, Mo. and Ms. Terri Polick of Bryontown, Md. She was the proud grandmother of five grandchildren, Jessica, Joanna and Jake Kovarik and Daniel and Coty D’Aleo; and a great-grandson, Jack Dunagan.
