~Family Tribute~

Shirley Sieloff, a lifelong Wyandotte resident, passed away peacefully at home with loved ones at her side on December 10, 2022 at 94.94 years.  She was born December 31, 1927, and died just a few days shy of her ninety-fifth birthday.  Shirley graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1946, in the days immediately following World War II.

Shirley is predeceased by her loving husband Donald, and survived by her children Dawn Collins, Cheryl Sieloff, Donald (Deb) Sieloff, and Dave (Suzy) Sieloff.  Grandchildren are Joshua (Mandee) Collins, Shane (Lindsey) Collins, Angela (Matt) Brown, Christy (Greg) Payne, Amy (Dimitri) Icossipentarhos, Dan Sieloff, and Dave (Drue) Sieloff, and many great-grandchildren Logan, Noah, Parker, Nolan, Sarah, Ryan, Kate, Lucy, Aiden, Charlotte, and Teddy. 

Shirley was a collector of cookbooks, knitting books, helpful hints, and quotes.  She enjoyed spending time listening to radio host Bob Allison, and searching for treasures at flea markets and resale shops.  Shirley especially love caring and cooking for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, family and friends. Every one of her children can remember her fall ritual and cooking skills using apples from the large trees that grew outside her bedroom windows. Her love for all that northern Michigan has to offer began while traveling with her husband Up North, and even in later years Shirley enjoyed vacation trips with her family to those same cities and cabins.  She never passed up a trip to Bob Jo’s custard, or a trip to spend time talking and watching the river flow by at the Wyandotte riverfront. The love and legacy she created for her family and friends will go on forever, and she will be missed by all.
