Shirley A. (Ditty)
Price
Shirley A. (Ditty) Price, 71, of Rockford, Ohio, passed away on
Tuesday, October 22, 2019, at St. Rita’s Medical Center in Lima, Ohio.
She was born on October 29, 1947, in Greenville, Ohio to the late Lloyd
and Naomi (Hittle) Ditty.
Shirley was a 1967 graduate of Greenville High School. She spent over
20 years working for Fram in Greenville. However, that is just a small
tid-bit of who Shirley was and what she meant to her family and
friends. Let’s begin with a few fond memories. Shirley made the best
banana pudding, no-bake cookies, and made beautiful wedding cakes. She
would take the children to the drive-in with a grocery bag full of
popcorn, sweet tea, and those amazing no-bake cookies. Shirley had a
heart of gold and always had the ability to make your troubles feel
small. You could count on her to listen, never pass judgment, and would
drop everything to be there for her children.
Shirley loved her family and all family functions. She would rarely
miss any of her grandchildren’s events. She always made the holidays
special and made sure everyone had a gift. It seemed she was happiest
when she was with Marion and the kids. She loved to travel and visit.
Distance was never an obstacle to her. She and Marion enjoyed going out
to eat, she loved her luncheons with her sisters, and the shopping
trips with her daughter and granddaughter. She had a special spot for
all her grandchildren. She loved camping, especially at the Great Darke
County Fair, and she loved her morning coffee. Many will miss Shirley
for the reasons mentioned here, but for her family, it will be those
hugs… the warmest hugs you could imagine, that will be missed the most.
Shirley is survived by her husband of 52 years, Marion Price, whom she
married on June 10, 1967; her children, Kimberly Green and her husband,
Carl, of Rockford, Scott Price and his wife, Kelli, of New Madison,
Ohio, Chad Price and his wife, Monica, of Vandalia, Ohio, and Jeremy

Chelsie King, Alexander Green and his wife, Jamie, Rachel Jackson and
her husband, Jake, Logan Green, Jaden Green, Jorden Hart and her

Price, Johneth Price, Cooper Price, Connor Price, Breanna Christy,

Charleston; her siblings, David Ditty of Greenville, Barbara Back and
