SHIRLEY ANN EMERY
Shirley Ann Emery, 75, of Connersville, went home to be with her Lord Saturday afternoon, June 3, 2023, at Reid Health, Richmond, after becoming ill earlier in the week.
She was born February 12, 1948, in Batesville, one of seven children of Percil and Florence Hilbert Prifogle, and she lived most of her life in the Brookville area. In her 40s, she obtained her Bachelor of Social Science from Mount St. Joseph College in Cincinnati.
For more than 20 years until her retirement, Shirley was employed at Hill-Rom Industries in Batesville where she became a supervisor.
She was a member of the Liberty Church of Christ. In her leisure, she enjoyed working on crafts. Most of all, she loved spending time with her family.
Active in the community, Shirley donated her time at the Fayette Regional Health Hospice Care.
Survivors include a daughter, Carmen (Russell) Bothast of Liberty; two grandsons, Tyler Bothast and Cody (Linsey) Bothast, both of Liberty; two great grandchildren, Alexis and Grayson Bothast; two brothers, Billy (Linda) Prifogle of Brookville, and Brian Prifogle of Connersville; three sisters, Ruth (John) Estridge of Brookville, Barbara Taylor and Brenda Prifogle, both of Connersville; and a number of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her parents and a brother, Gary Prifogle.
Upon her request, a private Celebration of Life will be held at the convenience of the family. Miller, Moster, Robbins Funeral Home has been entrusted with the arrangements.
Online condolences may be made anytime at millermosterrobbins.com.
Shirley and I worked together at Hill-Rom; we had a lot of good discussions on many topics. She made work enjoyable. I missed her when she left the company. She was a good friend. I am sorry for your loss.
