of Heber Springs, AR

July 13, 1934 - October 9, 2020

Shirley Haltermann Evers, 86, from Highland Park, Illinois, passed away peacefully on October 9, 2020.

Shirley is survived by her children, Dean (Sharon) Evers of Mesa, Arizona, Laura Caldwell of Choctaw, Arkansas, Amy Evers of Chicago, Illinois; her grandchildren, Marcus Caldwell Jr, Royal, Arkansas, and Lauren Caldwell, Kansas City, Missouri.

Shirley was an accomplished bookkeeper, quilter, knitter, needleworker, gardener and puzzler. She was a lifelong learner. Her favorite childhood memory was of attending Elm Place School because of her wonderful teachers. She lived in Deerfield and Libertyville, Illinois. Freelance work as a pattern tester led to her dream job as Design Director for Leisure Arts, a needlework company in Little Rock, Arkansas. Later she started her own company designing sweaters to knit called ForEvers. Her family and friends will remember Shirley for her quick wit, dry humor and no-nonsense take on life.

Shirley will be missed dearly by her family and friends. A celebration of life will be held with her family at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Alzheimer's Association or plant a tree or flowers. The family would like to thank Southridge Nursing and Rehab in Heber Springs, Arkansas.
