Obituary

Shirley E. Hermanson, 91, of North Smithfield, RI passed away peacefully at home on August 31, 2023, with Family by her side. Born in Waltham, Massachusetts on April 8, 1932, she was the daughter of the late Charles Deneault and Mary (Cormier) Deneault.

She gained her love for camping later in life. Her latter years were spent surrounded by family and friends making memories at Peppertree Campground where she held a seasonal camp site.

She is also survived by her five grandchildren: Chase, Sydney, “TJ” Tajudeen Jr., Zachary, and Noah and many nieces and nephews.
