Decker
Shirley A. (Palm) Decker, 98, a resident of the Danville area since 1996, passed peacefully from life to life eternal on Wednesday morning at the Emmanuel Center in Danville. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio, daughter of the late John C. and Edyth (Weidel) Palm. While she was an infant, her parents returned to the Altoona area where her mother had family. Shirley had fond memories of growing up in the Lakemont Park neighborhood where she had many friends. She graduated from Altoona High School in 1940 and attended Penn State University.
On Sept. 26, 1943, she married A. Monroe Decker Jr. of Red Bank, N.J. Two years later a son, John C. Decker, was born. In 1949, they moved to Clifton, N.J., where Shirley lived for close to 50 years. She was employed by Automatic Data Processing Inc. for 27 years, retiring in 1994. Her husband preceded her in death on Oct. 29, 1974.

At the start of the pandemic in March we took the decision to make online access to our news free of charge by taking down our paywall. At a time where accurate information about Covid-19 was vital to our community, this was the right decision – even though it meant a drop in our income. In order to help safeguard the future of our journalism, the time has now come to reinstate our paywall, However,
rest assured that access to all Covid related news will still remain free.
To access all other news will require a subscription, as it did pre-pandemic. The good news is that for the whole of December we will be running a special discounted offer to get 3 months access for the price of one month. Thank you for supporting us during this incredibly challenging time.

The hit TV show
Outlander follows its characters from the battlefields of the Second World War to the Jacobite risings of the 18th-century and colonial North Carolina on the eve of the American Revolution. Based on a series of novels by Diana Gabaldon, the drama uses a time-slip narrative – in which its protagonist Claire (played by Caitriona Balfe) moves initially between the 1940s and the 1740s – to play fast and loose with history. But far from inaccurate, the show is deeply interested in the ways we experience and imagine the past. Merging elements of fact and fantasy, it explores many ‘what ifs’ of Scottish history by touching on key events and featuring recognisable historical figures.
