Shirley R. Pannunzio
June 26, 1929 - November 16, 2020
Our beautiful mother, Shirley Richardson Pannunzio, passed way November 16, 2020 at the age of 91.
Shirley was born on June 26, 1929 to Eunice Wellington Richardson and George S. Richardson, in Sandy, Utah. Shirley was a resident of Tooele until moving in 2013 to Salt Lake Valley to be closer to her children and grandchildren. Shirley always regretted leaving Tooele, and the proximity to the stores.
Shirley and Lewis Pannunzio married in 1947. They celebrated 65 years of marriage before Lewie passed away.
Our mother was an enthusiastic participant and instigator of fun; snowmobiling, sledding, waterskiing, boating, camping and traveling far and wide. Crafting, sewing, gardening and rearranging the furniture were Shirley’s creative outlets. She was a rare gem.
Shirley is survived by children: Daniel (Chelise) Pannunzio, Janet (Bill) Culbertson, Diane (Dick) Scott and Lisa (Barry) McNeilis along with 8 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Preceded in death by her parents; one brother, George B. Richardson and her beloved husband Lewie.
Internment is at Mt. Calvary Cemetery. Service for immediate family members due to Covid 19 restrictions.
Andare con Dio Mom.

To the family of Shirley Pannunzio; Shirley was my beloved aunt and wife of one of my favorite Uncles Lew. I was sorry to hear of her passing. She was a real fire cracker that loved life and together with Lew they were always very active and engaged. I miss them both very much. Our condolences to the entire family and our wish that we always remember the special place they both have in our hearts. (Condolences to Dick and Diane, I am sorry I have misplaced your phone numbers, I wanted to call; mine is 801-564-8091) Joe
We were neighbors for 30+ years and Shirley and Lewy were the best people you could ever meet. We miss them every day.
Lisa, My condolences.
Dear Cousins, It was a sadness to hear of Aunt Shirley's passing. She left me with many memories from throughout my life. As a young boy, traveling with my mother to visit relatives in Tooele, it was always fun to stop by Aunt Shirley and Uncle Lewie's home. She seemed to have a youthfulness throughout her life that was a part of her upbeat personality. To cousins Dan, Dianne, Janet and Lisa; Elaine and I extend our sincere condolences for your loss. John and Elaine D'Agnillo
