Shirley (Keiper) Mack Tremko, age 86, of Tobyhanna, passed away Tuesday at Regional Hospital of Scranton, after an illness. She was preceded in death by her first husband, Robert Mack, Sr., and her second husband, Raymond Tremko.
Born in Scranton on February 28, 1933, Shirley was the daughter of the late Vernon and Mildred (Grabowsky) Keiper. Of Roman Catholic faith, she was a longtime member of St. Ann’s Church, Tobyhanna, before its consolidation.
Shirley loved and enjoyed her life. She enjoyed gardening, playing pinochle and above all, spending time with her family. Her two granddaughters and two great grandchildren were the light of her life. She was giving, generous and caring, and she’ll certainly be forever missed by family and friends.
She is survived by her daughter, caregiver and best bud, Claire Nidoh and husband John of Tobyhanna; her son, David Mack of Bradenton, Florida; her sister, Saundra Tigue, and her brother David Keiper, both of Tobyhanna; her granddaughters, Tara, Madalyn and Emily Mack; her great grandson, Bentley; and many nieces and nephews.
Her sons, Paul and Robert Mack, Jr; granddaughters, Megan Mack; great granddaughter, Willow Grace; and siblings, Gary Keiper, Melinee Kuder and Dorothy Jean Smith, also preceded her in death.
Her family would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank Shirley’s caregiver and special friend, Mary Ann Lawless. They’ll forever appreciate her care and compassion.
A Mass of Christian Burial is scheduled for Monday at noon at Villa of Our Lady Roman Catholic Church, 245 Meadowside Rd, Mt Pocono, PA 18344, to be celebrated by Rev. Gregory Loughney. Private burial will follow at the parish cemetery.
Arrangements are under the care of the Thomas P. Kearney Funeral Home, Inc., 517 North Main Street, Old Forge.
