Shirley A. Zebracki

Shirley was a beautiful soul who made new friends everywhere she went. She was loved and will be missed by all who knew her.

In her free time, Shirley enjoyed reading, gardening and sewing. She delighted in sewing handmade treasures, often distributing her thoughtful gifts to friends and family. Her creations were more than just fabric; they were expressions of love and care that shared her joyful spirit with others.

Shirley’s family wishes to thank Dr. Sood and his wonderful nurses for their compassion and care. A special thanks to Amber for her generous visits and delicious baked goods. They would also like to thank the staff at Northern Chautauqua Nursing and Rehab Facility for their support and assistance during Shirley’s ups and downs.

Shirley is survived by her daughters Joni (Sergio) (Walaski) Polanco and Lori Walaski; step children Eric (Laure) Zebracki, David Zebracki, Michael (Lynda) Zebracki and Susan (Joseph) Siracuse; three grandchildren; seven step grandchildren; one great grandson and seven step great grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, Shirley is preceded in death by her husband Carl Zebracki and her son Jeffrey Walaski.
