In Memoriam: Shirley Nell-Galvin

On Feb. 22, a memorial service at St. John’s will celebrate the life of Shirley Nell-Galvin, who was born in San Francisco and lived in Healdsburg and Windsor on and off for many years. She was 97 when she died last month. Shirley and her husband Phil moved to Healdsburg in 1951 and founded a company called Sonoma Wood Products, which they sold to Louisiana Pacific a couple of decades later, according to her obituary. She loved to fly planes, travel to historic places, play tennis and volunteer in the community. Shirley leaves behind three kids — Kevin, Erin and Patrick Nell — and many grandkids and great-grandkids. (Source: Legacy.com)
