Shirley M Greiner

Shirley Marlene Greiner, age 81, of Garnett, Kansas, passed away peacefully on Monday, December 19, 2016, at her home. She was born July 19, 1935, in Linneus, Missouri, the daughter of Opha Milo and Alta Belle (Johns) Maxwell. Shirley graduated from Brookfield High School with the Class of 1953, then bravely boarded a train to Kansas City, where she worked for Hallmark Cards as a photolithographer from 1953 to 1958. Shirley married Milton Greiner on November 10, 1957 in Kansas City, Missouri. This union was blessed with two children. They made their home in Kansas City until moving to Olathe in 1964. In 1987, they started traveling across the United States and Canada, camping, antiquing and making friends. Shirley and Milton spent 10 summers hosting a Forest Service Campground in Bonner's Ferry, Idaho. They settled in Garnett in 2003 and joined the First Christian Church. She dearly loved her family and was beloved Aunt Shirley to many nieces and nephews. Her brothers-in-law just called her their sister. But her greatest delight was graduating from "Granny" to "Super Granny" with the birth of her first great-grandchild. Shirley was preceded in death by her parents, Opha and Alta Maxwell; two brothers, Marlin Maxwell and Glynn Maxwell; one sister, Kathleen Waas. She is survived by her husband Milton, of the home; one son, David Greiner and wife Karen of Bolivar, Missouri; one daughter, Marlene Woolsey and husband Rick of Olathe, Kansas; four grandchildren, Geoff Greiner, Cathy Brusk and husband Bernie, Lindsey Woolsey, and Christopher Woolsey; two great-grandchildren, Benjamin and Ella Brusk. Memorial services will be held at 1:30 p.m., Tuesday, December 27, 2016, at the First Christian Church, Garnett. The family will greet friends at the Feuerborn Family Funeral Service Chapel, Garnett, on Monday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Memorial contributions may be made to First Christian Church.
