Norfolk—Shirley Levin (née Kreger) was born in Norfolk and graduated from Maury High School. She worked at the Naval Base during WWII before joining her family business, AAA Building, and Plumbing Supply. She was a fixture there for more than 60 years.
She always had a kind word and funny joke for everyone. She had many talents and taught herself architecture and designed and built several residential properties. She was active in real estate and a savvy investor in the stock market. For many years she was an active member of B’nai Israel, Temple Israel, and Congregation Beth El.
