Shirley P. Gould's Obituary
Shirley P. Gould 87 of Manistee died peacefully on March 1, 2017 at West Shore Medical Center.
She was born Rita Shirley Pomeroy on March 15, 1929 to Harold W. and Agnes (Raczkowski) Pomeroy of Manistee. She attended Guardian Angels school and graduated from Manistee High School in 1947. She married Manistee resident John Gould, Jr. in 1950.
Throughout her life as wife and mother, Mrs. Gould worked at a variety of jobs such as department store retail and food service at schools. As the wife of a military officer, she enjoyed extensive traveling opportunities to Europe, Alaska, Hawaii, and throughout every state in the U.S. In later years, she and her husband traveled to Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. She enjoyed camping, bird watching, singing, music, and dancing. Her creativity shined in her creation of quilts, scrapbooks, crafts. She was a chorus member in a Manistee Civic Players production of "South Pacific" in the early 1960s. Her sense of humor was enjoyed by all, and she was always the life of the party.
She was preceded in death by her mother Agnes in 1985, and by her father Harold W. in 1998.
She is survived by her husband Lt. Colonel (Retired) John Gould, Jr. of Manistee; daughters Susan (Michael) Adams of Easton, Maryland and Janine G. (the late Ken) Stinson of Eastlake, son John III (Linda) of Clawson, sister Mary (John) Lambrosa of Penn Yan, NY, grandchildren Stacy, Carie, John Michael, Jamie, and John Ryan, six great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Burial of cremains will be held at Oak Grove Cemetery. Memorial service and celebration of her life will be held June 17, 2017 at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church at 410 Second Street in Manistee with Reverend Everett Klein and Reverend Jody Bambas celebrants. The family will be receiving family and friends at 10 a.m. followed by a service at 11 a.m. Memorial donations may be made in her name to Homeward Bound Animal Shelter of Manistee County.
