Shirley Ann Maupin, of Sunman, passed away peacefully at her home on Monday, October 27, 2025, at the age of 83.
Born on October 4, 1942, she was the loving daughter of Clifford and Martha (Vonderheide) Zorb. Shirley graduated from St. Francis Xavier Academy in Cincinnati, Ohio. On May 6, 1960, she married the love of her life, Carl E. Maupin Sr., in Cincinnati, and together they built a beautiful life and raised eight wonderful children. Most recently, Shirley was a homemaker, but previously she worked
at both The Waters of Batesville and Shady Nook Care Center in the linen and laundry department. Shirley had a kind and gentle spirit, and she filled her days with the things she loved most. She enjoyed reading, painting, working puzzles, and playing computer games. She had a deep appreciation for music—especially the timeless songs of Elvis Presley, Conway Twitty, and James Dean. Most of all, Shirley cherished spending time with her family and friends. Shirley’s warmth, laughter, and love will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
Those surviving who will cherish Shirley’s memory include her husband, Carl E. Maupin Sr.; eight children, Carl Maupin Jr., Cliff (Julie) Maupin, Lisa (Bob) Torrez, Terri (Jim) Medecke, Jean (Denver) Smith, Kevin Maupin, Jeff Maupin, and Brenda (JC) Carpenter; several siblings; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren as well as many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, Shirley was preceded in death by one brother, James Zorb; one sister, Angie Wurzelbacher; and one grand-daughter, Hailey Hornberger.
