Shirley Ann (Hodges) Sciora, 84 years young, a longtime resident of
Topsfield, passed away on Thursday, April 30, 2020 at the High Point
Hospice House in Haverhill. She was the wife of the late Joseph F.
Sciora with whom she shared fifty wonderful years of marriage.

provided these wonderful skills at many locations, including her longtime
services for a residential group home in Danvers.
In her early years Shirley loved to play tennis. She enjoyed many
activities including volunteering for the Topsfield Garden Club, serving
on several Topsfield town committees and loved
ceramics, having had won many ribbons at the Topsfield Fair. She also
loved playing MahJong and bridge with her friends and walking her
beloved Schaunzer, Pepper. One of Shirley's other passions was traveling
with her husband, Joe. They often sailed the Eastern Seaboard from their
Ipswich mooring with friends on their other love, their 36’ sailboat. They
retired in Hilton Head returning for summers in New England.
