Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother passed away on July 1, 2015.  Shirley was born on June 10, 1928 to Paul Franklin and Irene Hales Petersen.  Shirley grew up in Ogden, Utah.  In 1946 she graduated from Ogden High School and attended Weber State University.  During that time she worked at Mountain States Telephone as an Operator.

On August 26, 1949 she married Joseph Robb “Bob” Dunbar in Ogden, Utah.  Shirley was a member of the Ogden Golf and Country Club where she served as President of the Ladies Association.  You would see her playing bridge, bowling, and golfing in her spare time.  Her love of card and dice games was shared with her family at dinners and family vacations.  Shirley was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
