Shirley and her husband Wesley, went into business in 1978. Shirley loved going fishing with her husband, Wesley and was a member of the Mr. & Mrs. Bass Club. Shirley enjoyed bowling and Bingo in her free time. Her passion was genealogy. You could walk into her house on any given day and 9 times out of 10, she would be working on ancestry. Family was the most important thing to Shirley. If there was a family gathering, you can bet she’d be in attendance. Shirley adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren; she was thankful for the time she spent with them.
Shirley was the strongest, most loving, and most selfless person you will ever meet. Shirley loved a good laugh and that laugh was contagious; it would fill the room. Shirley touched many lives and she will forever live within those she touched.
Shirley will be missed by her loved ones, but we must remember; we have a guardian angel looking over us.
