Shirley Anaple
January 13, 1935 — July 27, 2017
Shirley "Jan" (McComas) Anaple of Toledo, passed away peacefully on July 27, 2017 at home surrounded by her family. She was born on January 13, 1935 to Mary Baker and Henry McComas. Jan grew up in Ashland, KY, where she graduated with high honors from Ashland Senior High School. She went on to attend nursing school at The Jewish Hospital Association School of Nursing in Cincinnati, OH, receiving her R.N. in 1955. Jan married David J. Anaple April 12, 1958.
She was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses on July 15, 1963 and served as a full-time minister from September 1998 until the end of her life. She touched many lives with her faith and love.
Jan was a well-respected critical care nurse, finishing her career at Riverside Hospital in Toledo. She held the position of Head Nurse in the Coronary Care Unit and was one of the first nurses to obtain the designation of CCRN, Critical Care Registered Nurse. She was a valuable asset to the hospital's Cardiac Rehab program and the Mended Hearts support group. She was also a familiar face as a first-aid volunteer in many community events.
She was preceded in death by her son, Mark Anaple. She is survived by her husband of almost 60 years, David Anaple, half-brother Paul (David) Copley, children Gayle Piersol, Laura Anaple, Deborah Semaan (Abed), Michael Anaple (Lori), Joel Anaple (Tilsia), Cynthia Lau (James); grandchildren Kirk, John and Sabrina Piersol, Kendall Griffin, Leila (Felipe) Aldana, Nathaneal Semaan, Travis, Mitchell and Alyvia Anaple, Andrew (Destinee) Stanton and Alyson Stanton; and great-grandchildren Claire Stanton, Sarina and Gabriela Siebers.
