Shirley was born July 26, 1927, to Ernest and Florence (Drury) Noyes in North Rose, New York. She moved to Cayuga, New York in 1930 at the age of 3. This was her home until 1982.
She married Herman Frederick Tavener on February 21, 1948. They had one child, Paul. They loved to square-dance and go bowling.
Most of Shirley’s jobs involved retail. She was employed at Hislop Department Store for several years and later worked at Crosman’s Jewelry Store for several more years.
