Shirley Eleanor Barlow, 95, of Downingtown, passed away on the morning of March 18th, 2020 at Tel Hai Retirement Community where she has lived for almost 7 years. She was the daughter of Samuel L. Forrester and Kitty A. Rouse. She was also predeceased by her husband Deril Wayne Barlow.
Shirley was a loving mother and a devoted grandmother. Anyone who knew Shirley will remember her as the avid morning walker around Downingtown with her late sister Dorothy. Many also knew her as the dedicated “lunch lady” at Downingtown Junior HIgh. Shirley was the kind of person that put other people's needs in front of her own. Her strong faith always shined through.
Shirley is survived by her daughter Sandra Costello, 2 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren.
Shirley was predeceased by her Son Roger Leon Barlow, and all of her siblings. She was the last remaining of the 8 siblings.
Due to the current circumstances, Shirley has been laid to rest with immediate family in attendance. A celebratory memorial service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Shirley’s honor can be made to St. Judes Children's Cancer Hospital.
