Shirley Ann Twing

Shirley Ann Twing, 92, of Las Vegas, Nevada peacefully entered the glorious Kingdom of God on March 6, 2023, from her earthly home with her husband and family at her side. She was born in Utica, Michigan on May 28, 1930, a time when life was tough but pure, beautiful, and simple. She embodied every bit of these characteristics with a sense of adventure like no other. She married Billy O. Twing on July 17, 1965. As a career military wife, Shirley raised five beautiful children all over the world including Germany, New York, New Mexico, Texas and finally, Nevada.

True to her roots as a farmer’s daughter, she was an avid gardener, and also enjoyed painting, camping, garage sailing, flying, singing and dancing. Shirley had multiple careers outside her home, working as a Beautician for Max Factor make-up and hair products and later at Ethel M. Chocolate Factory, where she would eventually retire.

Shirley was a passionate, strong, loving mother raising five beautiful daughters, seven handsome grandsons, eight cherished granddaughters, 12 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren. She was a doting mother to her cats, Sassy, Oliver, and dogs, Nipper.

Shirley is survived by her “Guardian Angel” husband, Billy O. Twing; Sister, Kathleen Bickmann; and four daughters LeeAnn, Debra, Julie, and Jamie. She is preceded in death by her mother, Kathleen Harriet Greene; father, Joseph Alfred Schwartz; brother, Joe Schwartz; sisters, Virginia Olek, Edna Dusset, and Betty Roye; and daughter, Marlene Warren.

Shirley Ann Twing was an absolutely beautiful woman all around, and will truly be missed by all. Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Neptune Society with interment at a later date.
