Shirley Ann Loxterman, age 95 of Concord Township, Ohio, passed away August 3, 2022. She was born February 6, 1927, in Ashtabula Harbor to Michael J. Sholtis, longtime Fairport Chief of Police, and Viola S. (Lindell) Sholtis.

Shirley married her childhood sweetheart, Bill Loxterman (one of the founders of Lockie-Lee Dairy), soon after he returned from WWII Navy service on the Aircraft Carrier U.S.S. Yorktown.  The couple enjoyed 59 years of marriage.

Shirley loved spending time with her family.  Shirley was a homemaker, pet lover, talented seamstress and creative ceramicist.  She was an avid collector of antiques and memorabilia, a person who LOVED to shop and adapted quickly to the joys of QVC shopping.  She also enjoyed bowling and garage sales.

Shirley is survived by her children, Victoria Barnett, William Loxterman (Kenna McTaggart), Michele Loxterman (Jeff), and Sherri Farrington (Paul Wronski); grandchildren Michael Loxterman (Jennifer Johnson), Todd Browne (Dana Perkins), Scott Barnett (Renee Levasseur), and Anna Baker (Steve Hosey); and four great grandchildren: Quinn Browne, Liam Loxterman, Max Browne, and Riley Browne.

She was preceded in death by her husband, William H. Loxterman in 2004, son-in-law, Gary Barnett, and her parents.

Private graveside services will be held at Riverside Cemetery.  A Celebration of Life will be held for family and friends at The Elks Lodge, 723 Liberty St. Painesville, Ohio on August 27, 2022, from 12:00 noon – 2:00 PM.
