Shirley was born July 16, 1934 in Kansas City , KS and graduated from Wyandotte High School . She married in 1955 while working for National Life and Accident in Kansas City where she met her husband, Bill. She was a stay at home mother until her last child entered grade school after which she worked in local schools: Linden West in Gladstone , MO as a play ground assistant, St. Charles Borromeo in Gladstone , MO as a teacher's aide, North Central High School in Indianapolis , IN as a library assistant. She worked in administrative roles at ADP in Indianapolis , IN and for the City of Olathe in the Parks and Recreation Department. She moved with her family as her husband Bill transferred with this employer C.I.T from Kansas City , MO to Baltimore , MD to Kansas City , MO to Indianapolis , IN and back to the Kansas City area ( Olathe ).
Shirley enjoyed reading, travel, dining out, cooking for family gatherings, and family vacations. Her recent favorite pleasures were playing cards at the local YMCA and serving as the RED Hat's queen for the Yellow Brick Road group in Olathe . She liked people, had a ready smile and usually a good quip to go with it.
In later years, the Outer Banks had become a favorite vacation spot. This year she was determined to go there, saying it was her last visit. Chemo was hard on her and exhausting. She never complained and bore her ailments with dignity.
