Shirley A Marks, 59, of Phoenix, Arizona passed away on April 29, 2010.

Early in Shirley's career, she was a Nursery ICU Pharmacist at Good Samaritan Hospital then moved to home health and lastly to St. Joseph Hospital IV Room. Shirley lived her life by her belief in helping others and to make a difference in patient care. With her short illness, there was a community of friends present who Shirley had touched by her work, her knowledge and her personality. She loved art and hiding Easter eggs for her co-workers. Good-bye to a wonderful person! As Shirley would say "It is as it is!"

Shirley was preceded in death by her mother, Velma Marks and her father, Everette Marks. According to Shirley's wishes, a private internment has been held.

Donations can be made to Ryan House, Adult Hospice.
