Shirley Anne (Hines) Barr, 88, died peacefully in her sleep Tuesday, September 26, 2023 at Coffman Nursing Home. Born December 23, 1934 in Hagerstown, she was the daughter of the late Elizabeth and Jacob Markwood Hines.

Shirley was a loving and devoted wife to her husband of 58 years, Bill Barr, who preceded her in death in 2016. She was a proud and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister-in-law and friend who cherished all of her family and friends.

Shirley worked at the Hearld Mail and Hopkins & Gruber until the birth of her first child and then she became a stay-at-home mom and housewife. After her children were grown, she volunteered at the Washington County Hospital for over 25 years. She was also an active member of St. John's Lutheran Church, teaching Sunday School and singing in the church choir.
