Shirley Mae (Oakleaf) Doll

On Monday evening, November 25, 2024, Shirley M. Doll, while being cared for by her daughters, passed away peacefully in the comfort of her home following a full and purposeful life. Born in Navarre, August 20, 1923, she had reached the age of 101. A daughter of the late Grover F. and Hazel M. (Watts) Oakleaf, Shirley and her sister, Jean, were raised by their father, and later, step-mother Jane Oakleaf.  Shirley graduated from the former Navarre High School and trained as a commercial secretary at the former Massillon Secretarial College. She worked briefly in the office of Massillon Washed Gravel before becoming a full-time homemaker. A devoted wife and a loving and supportive mom, grandma, great-grandma, and great-great-grandma, Shirley placed her husband and family at the center of her life. She created a comfortable home filled with laughter and happy memories. A Christian woman of quiet faith, she enjoyed reading, sewing, and knitting, and throughout her life she had a fondness for chocolate! Her memory will be a treasure to those who knew and loved her.

Predeceased by her parents and step-mother; her husband, Jay Doll; and her sister, Jean Oakleaf Stanford; Shirley is survived by her daughters, Judy Doll (Stephen Hottinger) of Vermilion, Holly (Charles) Radich, of North Canton, and Ginger Mirtallo (Dave Lee) ofColumbus.
