Shirley Brake

August 3, 1938 - September 17, 2021

Shirley Joan Brake went home to be with the Lord on September 17, 2021 surrounded by her family. Born August 3, 1938 to Charles and Katherine Messinger. She was 1 of 6 children born to them, having 5 brothers. She married Bobby Brake in 1956 in Akron, OH. They had 5 children together. The family moved to California in 1962. Shirley had multiple jobs over the years, but found her niche when moving to San Diego in 1971 when she was the first woman hired at Oroweat Bakery. After retiring from there, she held a position at New Life Bakery in Carson City, NV. She was preceded in death by her parents, her 5 brothers and oldest daughter Kim. She is survived by her children, Bobby Jr, Nancy, Tracie and Paul (PJ), 9 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Shirley didn’t have a perfect life, but she had a full life and was greatly loved by all who knew her. She will be greatly missed. In lieu of Flowers please donate to the American Diabetes Association in her name.
