Shirley Weiner of Walden, NY, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, April 29, 2014 at the Kaplan Family Hospice Residence, Newburgh, NY. The daughter of the late Moe and Jennie Kalish Nodelman, she was born on February 22, 1927 in Brooklyn, NY. She was 87 years old. She was the widow of Lewis Weiner.

She also volunteered with the Jewish Family Services, Meals on Wheels, and the Circleville Presbyterian Church. She was a member of the Red Hatters and a past member of the B’nai Brith.
