Shirley Garms

Shirley M. Garms (January 18, 1924 to January 25, 2018) was an American tenpin bowler who lived in Island Lake, Illinois. The Bowling Writers Association of America named her woman Bowler of the Year in consecutive years, 1961 and 1962, and in 1962 she won the BPAA All-Star championship, later renamed the U.S. Women's Open. She was inducted into the United States Bowling Congress Hall of Fame in 1971 and the PWBA Hall of Fame in 1995, two Hall of Fame inductions that mark her standing in women's professional bowling in her era.
