With heavy hearts, we share that our beloved mother Shirley McConnell passed away Monday, June 23th 2025 after bravely battling lung cancer and suffering a severe stroke. Her strength, love, and unwavering spirit touched everyone she met, and her loss leaves an unfillable void in our lives.

We are now faced with the unexpected burden of funeral and memorial expenses. As we try to honor her memory the way she truly deserves, we are asking for support from family, friends, and anyone moved by her story.

Every contribution—big or small—will go directly toward funeral services, burial arrangements, and helping our family through this incredibly difficult time. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with others would mean the world to us.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this time of mourning.

With gratitude,

Nilea Boles
