Shirley had a heart that welcomed everyone, never meeting a stranger. She had a deep love for working with the public and mentoring the teenagers she worked with. She enjoyed fishing and her passion for animals was evident in everything she did. Cooking brought her joy, and above all, her family was her top priority. As the oldest daughter, she took great pride in caring for her siblings. Shirley was deeply cherished and will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
