Obituary For Shirley Crowley
We sadly announce that Shirley Ann (Boyd) Crowley, of Tuckerton, the Matriarch of our family, passed away Wednesday April 17, 2024. She was surrounded by family in her home in Tuckerton, New Jersey. Many summers ago, she was born in Ocean City, the third of four daughters of Thomas and Lillian Foglio Boyd, both predeceased.
Shirl was a strong, independent woman that exuded a pioneering spirit and a positive attitude that could not be extinguished. She had a long successful career in the printing industry, often claiming “I control chaos for a living.” Her passion for ballet started as a child and was with her until her last breath. She had an affection for travel, but her love of the beach always pulled her back to the Jersey shore.
She is preceded in death by the love of her life, her husband of 38 years, Chet C. Crowley. She is survived by her children, Heather (Don) Vogus and Carl (Jessica) Crowley. She is the loving “Grammy” to Allie (Zach) Freda, Matthew (Kimberly) Vogus, Anna (Kevin) Dougherty, Lauren Crowley, Rebecca Crowley, and Emma Crowley, and two great-grandsons (Theo and Luca)!
A Memorial Service will be held Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at Parsels Funeral Home at 324 New Jersey Avenue in Absecon, NJ. The family will receive visitors from 10:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. The Memorial Service will begin at 11:30 a.m. and all are invited. In lieu of flowers, the family is suggesting donations in Shirl’s name to the SAVE Rescue Shelter in Toms River, NJ or your local no-kill animal shelter.
