Shirley first and foremost loved being a mom. She also loved spending time with her family and friends, especially if it involved going out to eat. She enjoyed bowling and golf with her husband and friends, as well as playing games, doing cross-word puzzles, planting flowers and attending her church. She loved being a mom to her furr-babies as well, including her beloved Rusty.
She will forever be in our hearts and missed beyond measure.
