She was also known for her delicious dishes and tasty baked goods, which were always lovingly shared with her family, her co-workers, her friends, her church. Shirley treasured her family and leaves behind her three living children, seven grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. Shirley loved her 30+ years as a Realtor. Many past clients maintained contact with Shirley throughout her illness. She loved doing for and caring for others. When Shirley could no longer work as a Realtor, due to her Alzheimer’s onset, she worked as a caregiver for several years. Shirley loved life, her family, friends, pets, and her Lord.
