Shirley R. LaPoint, 76, passed away on June 28, 2014 at her home with her loving husband, Bud, at her side.

Born on September 11, 1937, in Gansevoort, she was the daughter of the late Charles Edward and Zella (Gallup) Selfridge.

Shirley enjoyed being with her family, country music, camping, crossword puzzles, and her many cats over the years. She and Bud spent their retirement traveling together, visiting all but one state in the continental United States. They often enjoyed taking trips with the members of the Moreau Community Center and frequently vacationed in their RV with family and friends. She was dearly loved by all that knew her and will be greatly missed.
