Shirley Gladys Warwick

Shirley Gladys Warwick, 92, of Brunswick, MD passed away peacefully at her home on Friday, August 30, 2024. 

Shirley was born on December 5, 1931 to John and Gladys Green in McKeesport, PA where she grew up with her parents and sister, and where she later met her husband, Walter Warwick. Shirley and Walter were married on April 14, 1951 and later relocated to Rockville, MD where they raised their three children, Cathy, Lynn and David.

While raising her children, Shirley also built a successful career as a medical assistant where she loved supporting her patients and their families. She was an active member of the Rockville chapter of Jaycees for many years and greatly enjoyed supporting her children as a team mom for her daughter’s majorette corps, as well as her son’s baseball and football teams. Shirley was a devout member of the United Methodist Church, and she passed her steadfast faith on to her family.

After retirement, Shirley relocated to Frederick, MD to be close to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Shirley’s greatest joy was spending time with and caring for her family. She loved Sunday family dinners and was an amazing cook. She also got a kick out of keeping some of the family’s favorite recipes a secret for many, many years! Shirley enjoyed playing board games with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and traveling to Connecticut to visit her son and his family.

Shirley will be remembered by her family as the true and loving matriarch of the family. She made it her mission to ensure that they had everything they needed and more. Shirley will be remembered as a woman who lived her life in service of her family. She was the epitome of dignity, grace, beauty and love.

Shirley was predeceased by her husband, Walter Warwick. She is survived by her children, Cathy Cox (Sonny), Lynn Susulske (Joe), and David Warwick (MaryBeth); five grandchildren, Michelle Taylor, Erin Needelman, Stacey Joeckel, Brice Warwick and Hannah Warwick, and six great-grandchildren, Amity Taylor, Alex Taylor, Astor Taylor, Luke Needelman, Paige Joeckel and Grace Joeckel.
