Obituary of Shirley Carrol Rader

Shirley Carrol (Glass) Rader, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, joined her parents and sister in the presence of her Savior on June 29 , 2015. She succumbed to a lengthy illness. She was born in Wharton, TX on October 19, 1934 to William and Alma Glass. She was raised in Southern California and graduated from Venice High School.

After retirement, she lived in El Paso, TX until she moved to Lake Havasu in January 1998. Shirley was first a great mother. Since her Charles was in the military, she was called upon to be the glue which kept a home and family together. This she did for over 27 years. In addition, she was foster parent to over 60 foster children over the years. She will be sadly missed by her husband, family, and friends in the sure knowledge that there will be a reunion in our Savior. She is survived by her husband of more than 61 years, Charles; 4 children; Charles, Jr. (Eve), Debra (Brett), William (Pat), and Tracy; 9 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
