Shirley Mae (Mallison) MacKenzie, 77 of Manistee, MI and Sebring, FL passed away peacefully surrounded by her family at her home on July 26, 2025.

Shirley loved Jesus, sewing, painting, arts & crafts, family time, singing in church and her church family, lunches with her friends in Florida and Bible studies.

She was the loving wife of Bill MacKenzie.  The loving mother to Charlene Quade, Carl Mallison, Crystal Mallison, Justin Mallison and James Manues.  A very loving grandmother and great grandmother to 7 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband Carl Mallison, her parents and several brothers and sisters.
