Shirley A. (Ladd) Bohl, 89, passed away at home on Wednesday, August 12, 2020. Born in Albany, NY on September 16, 1930, she was the daughter of the late Thyril L. and Mildred (Schmitter) Ladd. Shirley graduated from Albany High School in 1948 and always enjoyed planning and participating in her class reunions.

The family would like to especially thank Shirley’s dedicated team of private home health aides and the wonderful people at Community Hospice for all of their care and support.
