Obituary of Shirley Martini

Shirley (Brown) Martini departed this earth on August 31, 2025 after a long brave battle with cancer. She leaves behind her husband of 25 years Richard Martini Sr, a stepdaughter, Deanna Martini, a stepson Richard Martini Jr, dear and closest friends Cynthia Delsignore, Ellen Hayes, and Joanne Zech, along with her pets Mickey, Nelson, Cassie And Franky. Shirley was known for her beautiful and delicious cake decorating and baked goods as well as being a fabulous cook.

She was an avid quilter and enjoyed a trip to a quilt shop or quilt show which encouraged her desire to spend hours in her quilt room enjoying her craft. Shirley worked in the auto business for almost 30 years and then went into banking working as a mortgage loan officer and later as an internal loan review specialist. A service will be held on September 20 at St Margarets Church in Homer, NY at 11:00 AM with a gathering to follow.
