Write a commentShirley Danaher Enwright passed into the next world Friday, July 5, 2013, one day after her 85th birthday, at the Oswego Hospital following a brief illness. She was born on July 4, 1928, the only child of Thomas and Anna Danaher and was a lifelong resident of Oswego.
Following graduation from Oswego High School, she worked at Cyclotherm, the NY Telephone Company and retired from the Oswego Hospital where she worked in the medical records department. In her earlier years, she enjoyed traveling, cooking and baking, knitting and reading a good mystery. More recently, she treasured time spent with her family and friends, and loved going out to lunch.

The family are grateful to Barb VanHorn for the personal care, assistance and companionship she provided over the past year.
