Shirley A. Houck (Cain)'s Obituary
Shirley A. Houck (Cain) 80, daughter of Ruth S. Houck (Borgia), and Harry W. Houck, passed away peacefully in Princeton, NJ surrounded by her loving family on September 21, 2017.
Shirley is survived by her children Bambi Hendricks (Wes) of Pipersville, PA, Richard Cain (Eileen) of Levittown, PA, Sandra Cain Hughes of Lawrenceville, NJ, and Nancy Godfrey (Tom) of Dallastown, PA. She is also survived by four brothers, two sisters, six grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
As a profession, Shirley was a Certified Nursing Assistant, and spent the majority of her life caring for others. The greatest joy in her life was spending time with her family, whether it was at a gathering for a special occasion or a simple phone conversation. She loved being outdoors, gardening, working around the house, jigsaw puzzles, watching her favorite TV shows and movies. She also had a very artistic side, painted different crafts, and cut out silhouettes as gifts for friends and family. With all the things she loved to do, and her busy schedule, she always made sure she was there to meet her "Breakfast Club" friends every Monday and Thursday mornings. Having breakfast with friends she treasured, was so important to her. Lastly, her favorite place to travel was Lake Placid, NY, in the Adirondack Mountains. To her this was the most beautiful place in the world.
A memorial service will begin on Saturday, Oct. 7, 2017 at 1:00PM at the Kimble Funeral Home 1 Hamilton Avenue, Princeton, NJ 08542, followed by interment at Kingston Cemetery, Kingston, NJ.
Friends and family may call Saturday from 11:00-1:00 at the funeral home.
