Shirley Boh Gaden passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 6, 2011, at Our Lady of Wisdom, at the age of 87. She was preceded in death by her husband, Howard Fields Gaden, and her parents, Edward ("Eddie") and Amelia ("Millie") Boh. She is survived by her sister, Norma Boh Doran; 6 children, Deborah Gaden Robertson, Edward Gaden, Sue Gaden Preece, Nancy Gaden Jackson, Sally Gaden Kraus and Laurie Gaden McDowell; their spouses; 13 grandchildren; 5 1/2 great grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family members, all of whom will miss her dearly. Mrs. Gaden was born in New Orleans and attended St. Anthony of Padua School, St. Mary's Dominican High School and St. Mary's Dominican College, where she was valedictorian of her class. After graduating, she was a stewardess for Chicago & Southern Airlines, now Delta, where she traveled between Chicago, New Orleans and Havana, Cuba. Other than the first 3 years of her marriage, she was a lifelong resident of New Orleans and resided in Lakeview, where she was a member of St. Dominic's Parish. One of her greatest joys was hosting visiting family and friends and showing them around the city she loved. She had a passion for New Orleans culture, history, food and music, which led her to volunteer at the Hermann-Grima House in the French Quarter. She will be remembered as a gracious lady who was devoted to her family and welcomed all with a genuine smile and heart-felt laughter.
