Shirley S. Chaville

Shirley S. Chaville (nee Waloff), recently of Haverford, PA, died on April 28, 2023. Born on November 20, 1927, Shirley grew up in the Strawberry Mansion section of Philadelphia and graduated from Simon Gratz High School. She met her future husband, Harry, in 1945 and was married on October 11, 1947. The couple enjoyed 42 years together until Harry’s sudden passing in 1990. 

Shirley and Harry lived in the Oxford Circle area of Philadelphia until 1963 when the family moved to Huntingdon Valley, PA primarily to ensure their three daughters could have an excellent education in the highly rated Abington Township School District. 

From the mid-1970s until 1990, Shirley and Harry successfully ran a family business that allowed the family to enjoy life in their Ventnor, NJ and Palm Desert, CA properties.  In addition, the couple benefitted by their hard work, enabling them to take excursions to many U.S. states, European trips and cruises. 

Shirley is lovingly survived by her three daughters, Bonnie L., Beth Chaville-Fuller (Rich), and Bobbi J. (Greg Maunz); her three grandchildren, Cynthia Gutierrez (Wagner), Gregory Fuller (Natalie), and David Fuller; and her four great-grandchildren, Eli, Charlotte, Mason and Amelia. She was predeceased by her husband, Harry, her brother Harry Waloff, and her sister-in-law, Carol (nee Wurtzman). 

The family requests that donations in Shirley’s memory be made to the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House or to a charity of the donor’s choice.
