  1. We are heartbroken. Aunt Shirley was an angel on earth. She will be missed.

  2. I have the fondest memories of my Aunt Shirley from childhood. She was so kind , loved to laugh and was always so happy. You were loved so much by all of us. Out of all her siblings Shirley
    looked the most like my Mother Marie (the oldest of her siblings ). I know you’re now in heaven with the family.
    I will see you again someday!

  3. In loving memory of my Aunt Shirley. She was one of a kind. My last time seeing her was in Torrance, Ca. She came from Alabama to see and help take care of my Mom (her sister) in her last days. She said to me, I’ll never see my sister again. It really broke my heart cause I knew exactly what meant. She is now up in heaven with her Mom and Dad and brothers and sisters who have gone before her. I love and miss her but I will see her again. Now something funny. When we were living in Lompoc, CA she and Arthur came up to find a job. Shirley knew one thing, to not let her guard down around me and Gary. We were always up to something to get us in trouble. One day me and my brother went hiking and found this big gopher snake dead. We thought how funny it would be to bring it home and scare Shirley and Connie at the same time. When we got home Shirley and Connie were giving baby Denise a bath. The window was open and we could hear them talking and laughing. So we threw the snake into the open window and all blank, blank broke loose. They broke the door off the hinges getting out of the bathroom and broke about everything in there. We ran for our lives. Oh, forgot to mention that Shirley was pregnant at the time…
