Her beloved husband of 63 years, Seymour S. Bolinsky passed in November.
She will be lovingly remembered and missed by her son, Connecticut State Representative Mitch Bolinsky and his wife, Luisa of Newtown, CT; daughter, Joyce Fountaine of Green Valley, AZ; five grandchildren, Rachel Bolinsky-Morrone and her husband, Adam of Oakville, CT, Matthew Bolinsky of Newtown, CT, Josh Fountaine and his wife, Amy of Cedar Grove, WI, Jeremy Fountaine and his partner, Amanda Cox of Seattle, WA , and Ally (Fountaine) Engel and her husband, Tom of Port Washington, WI; as well as her great-grandson, Logan Fountaine of Cedar Grove, WI.

Shirley was a graduate of Evander Childs High School in the Bronx and worked many years as a legal secretary and an executive assistant. She was an artistic person, like others in her family, and spent a lifetime creating beautiful needlepoint works. Two of her works are displayed at Congregation Agudat Achim in Leominster, where she and her husband were longtime members.
She loved and worshipped the sun, vacationing for many years in Aruba with her husband, Sy. When not doing needlepoint, Shirley was a prolific reader; lived for her weekly Mah Jongg game with friends; spoke non-stop about her great-grandson, Logan and fussed over Chelsea, her beautiful, little Papillion mix.
