Shirley A. (Brown) Delano, 87, passed away from Alzheimer’s on June 18, 2020. She was a resident at Plymouth Rehabilitation & Health Care Center where she kept the most wonderful staff on their toes. She was the wife of the late Edwin R. Delano and the daughter of the late George H. and Mary Frances (McCarthy) Brown. Born on January 25, 1933 in Plymouth and was one of six children. She is survived by one sister, Barbara Maini of Plymouth. Shirley was educated in Plymouth will be dearly missed by her two sons Edwin R. Delano Jr. and his wife Holly, James P. Delano and his wife Cindy, and her daughter Linda Delano Butterfield and her husband Sam, all of Plymouth (fancy that). In addition, she leaves seven grandchildren, Stephanie Taylor (Nathan), Moriah Hill (Andrew), Amanda Joyce (Patrick), Jessie Hanlon (Josh), Nathaniel Butterfield (Aime), James Delano Jr. (Casey) and Emily Delano. She also leaves eleven cherished great grandchildren.Shirley was a native Plymouthean and she relished every minute of it. The pavement in Plymouth is a bit more worn from her walking ten miles a day for many years. Every line of the OCM was read and re-read by her and, when finished, she would pass the newspaper on to her friends. She loved every picture book ever published about Plymouth and never tired of them. Water St. to Samoset St. (downtown and along the waterfront loop) was sacred ground to Shirley, especially 99 Court St., where she lived for many years and watched countless parades from the front steps with her family. She lived for family cookouts on her brother Russell’s lawn.
