Shirley Varner Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on January 9, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Shirley Varner of Clinton, Iowa. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let her loved ones carry forward the torch of her memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of her love and the brilliance of her spirit. Though Shirley may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, her essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.

She was predeceased by: her parents, George Bird and Shirley Bird (Kuntz). She is survived by: her husband David Varner of Clinton; her daughter Dottie Halsted (Garry) of Clinton; her sister Trudy Clark (Mark) of Waterview; and her brothers-in-law, James Brockett, Mike Varner (Heidi) and Jeff Varner. She is also survived by nieces and nephews.

Memorials may be directed to the wishes of the family.
