Shirley was known for being very passionate about her family & friends and talking about childhood memories. She loved going down to the Senior Citizen Center to play bingo and doing crafts, having dances & spending time with friends. She always had to watch a couple of Golden Girl episodes throughout the day. Her personality was very spunky, she would always do or say what she wanted, she didn’t want people telling her what she could or couldn’t do. She was a strong-minded, faithful, honorable and devoted Christian woman. She touched the lives of many and will be remembered for her warm hugs, her helpful talks, her giving heart, and her smile that would light up the room.
