In Loving Memory of Shirley Ann Sanborn
July 5, 1936 – March 26, 2026

Shirley, a kind, generous, smart, funny, thoughtful, resilient, and strong woman who positively impacted countless lives, passed away on Thursday, March 26, 2026, in Clearwater, FL, at the age of 89. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

With an infectious laugh and a gift for bringing joy to any room, Shirley made people feel welcome and seen. She had a way of turning ordinary moments into memories—through a quick wit, a warm smile, and the steady strength she carried through life’s ups and downs.

She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She poured her heart into her family and shared her motherly love with many special people along the way. Her care showed up in the little things—checking in, showing up, listening closely, and giving more of herself than anyone ever expected.

Shirley took great pride in her work as a waitress. More than a job, it was a place where she could do what she loved most—be social, be around people, and brighten someone’s day. She remembered faces, stories, and favorite orders, and she treated everyone with the same respect and genuine kindness.

She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family. She is survived by her husband of 58 years, Reginald Sanborn, her children: Michelle Casey (Jackie Marchand), Michael Olshefski (Linda Stiehl), step-children: Chris Sanborn (Michelle Wysman), Jill Sanborn (Kim Sale), her grandchildren: Mick Casey and Christopher Sanborn Jr., sisters Sue Files, Lila Baker, and Peggy Kopolow, and an array of great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, and many other loved ones and friends who became family. She was preceded in death by her mother, Evelyn Banker, her sister, Dawn Holbert, and her first husband, Cy Olshefski.

Shirley’s devoted dog, Muffin, brought her countless hours of unwavering companionship, comfort, and joy.

A celebration of Shirley’s life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes memorial contributions to a pet shelter, Planned Parenthood of Central and Western NY, or a charity of your choice, in honor of the love and generosity she so freely showed.

Though we mourn her passing, we give thanks for a life that was full of laughter, love, and quiet strength. May we honor her by caring for one another the way she always did—openly, sincerely, and with joy.

William J Murray, Jr. (Bill) passed away early Saturday morning, February 28, 2026, exactly one week after celebrating his 94th birthday with his family and friends. Bill will be reunited with his beloved wife, Audrey.
Born in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1932, Bill became a Marine (Semper Fi) at the age of seventeen. He served in the Korean War, ending his service with the rank of Gunnery Sergeant. Bill returned to Providence and served as a policeman for 20 years, retiring as a Lieutenant. He then worked at the Women & Infants Hospital in Providence as Director of Administrative Services. He and his wife, Audrey, retired to Florida in 1984. Bill was a member of the Providence Police Association, National Safety Council where he taught Defensive Driving Classes as well as teaching Driver Safety classes for AARP.
Bill met the love of his life, Audrey, while being stationed in Ceylon during his service in the Marines. They married in 1955 in Providence and together had seven children. They were married for 54 years before her passing in 2009. He is predeceased by his premature twins Stephen and Neil, his eldest son Billy, and his wife Audrey. He is survived by his children, Scott (Dahlia), Gigi, Laure (Daryl) and Kerry (Tom), his grandchildren, Ashley (Timmy), David, Alexis (Andrew), Liam, Lucas, Sydney, Ariana, and Domenic, and great grandchildren, Alayna, Evelyn, Audrey and Silas.

Until a few days before he passed, Bill walked two miles at 530 each morning and was a member of the YoYo’s bowling team at Seminole Lanes for the past sixteen years. Bill loved this social time on Wednesdays and always tried to better his average. Bill will be remembered for his humor, his ability to make friends in unlikely places, his love of soaking up the Florida sun, his penchant for yard work, his years of service, and for the love he showed his wife, family, and country. His life was long and full until the very end, and we cherish our memories with him.

Leroy A. Franks, 89, of Pinellas Park, Florida, passed away at home on Wednesday, February 25, 2026.
Born in St. Louis, Missouri to Albert and Amelia Franks, he was a naturally talented athletic person, a trait his parents encouraged.
Leroy graduated from Christian Brothers College High School in 1955, where he distinguished himself as a three-time First Team All-State selection. A gifted multi-sport athlete, he also earned letters in football, track, and baseball. In 1954, he demonstrated his versatility and competitive spirit by winning five bouts in the 147-pound division of the Golden Gloves boxing competition.
In 1956, Leroy joined the Brehenys Soccer Team, helping lead them to the Missouri Amateur Cup Finals. The following year, he became a member of Kutis Soccer Club, where he played from 1957 to 1963. During his tenure, the team dominated American amateur soccer, capturing five consecutive National Amateur Cups from 1957 through 1961 and winning the National Challenge Cup in 1957. Following Kutis’ 1957 National Cup victory, the United States Soccer Federation called up the entire team to represent the United States in two World Cup qualification matches. As a result, Leroy earned a cap with the United States men’s national soccer team, appearing in a June 22, 1957, match against Canada. He was honored as a St. Louis League All-Star in 1963 and went on to play for the German Soccer Club in 1964.
In recognition of his outstanding contributions to the sport, he was inducted into the St. Louis Soccer Hall of Fame in 1996. He also gave back to the game he loved by serving as a Missouri high school soccer referee for more than 15 years.
Leroy was also a member of the U.S. Army Reserve and worked as a printer for the United States Government.
He will be missed by all.

James William Fletcher, 68, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on February 15, 2026.
Born on March 26, 1957, in West Palm Beach, he grew into a hardworking and determined man who spent most of his life in construction. He proudly served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War and was stationed in Germany.
Over the years he built a career in home and business remodeling and eventually opened his own remodeling company. Never one to stop pushing himself, he returned to school in his mid-50s to become a licensed electrician.
With piercing blue eyes and an unforgettable smile, he was the life of the party and someone people were naturally drawn to. He formed friendships that lasted a lifetime — loyal friends who became family and stood by him through the years.
He loved the outdoors, music, and any adventure that involved engines and open air — camping, mudding, boating, four-wheeling, dirt bikes, motorcycles, jet skis, and cruising whenever he could.
Above everything, James loved his family fiercely. He always reminded his children to stay close because “family is everything.” One of his most cherished phrases — spoken daily from their childhood through his final days — was, “Did I tell you I loved you today?”
He is survived by his children, in birth order: Matthew Whelan (Michelle), Alysia Fletcher (Jacqueline), Jessica Fletcher, and Brandon Fletcher. He was a proud grandfather to James III, Drew, Jordan, Nissim, Wesley, Ayden, and Kehlani, and a loving great-grandfather to Koa and Cruse. He was preceded in death by his son, James Fletcher II.
James worked hard, but he lived even harder.
A Celebration of Life will be held March 7,2026 from 5:00pm to 8:00 pm at Apple Butter Cafe.
