Shirley Ann Leifer (nee Kubow), 93, went to her heavenly home Dec. 21,
2017.

She was born May 28, 1924 in Watertown, Wisconsin, the daughter of
Edward and Helen Kubow.

Shirley was baptized, confirmed and married at St. Marcus Lutheran
Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She married the love of her life,
Donald Leifer on July 13, 1946. Their marriage was a true love story
for 53 years.

Shirley was employed by Harley Davidson and Shuster’s Department
Store, but her true passion was being a devoted wife and loving
mother. Her main wish was the happiness of her family. In 1986, Don
and Shirley moved to Lake Havasu City to enjoy retirement together.

Shirley loved playing cards, especially Pinochle, with her dear
friends at rotating homes, the Eagles, and the Senior Center.

Shirley was preceded in death by her husband, Donald Leifer, and
siblings Beverly Chapman and Marion Kubow.

She is survived by her children Diane (Jeffrey) Pfeifer of Lenexa,
Kansas, JoAnne (Michael) Kupfer, of Havasu, and Donald (Debbie) Leifer
of Edmund, Oklahoma. She also is survived by six grandchildren, Jeff
(Laura) Pfeifer, Amy (Chris) Sheridan, Kari (Karl) Thompson, Kimberly
(Jacob) Gregory, Zachary Leifer, and Zoey Leifer, and 12 great-
grandchildren.

Shirley’s funeral service is 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 30, at Mount Olive
Lutheran Church, 2170 Havasupai Blvd. There is a reception immediately
following in the church cafe. A graveside service is 3 p.m. at Lake
