Shirley dedicated her entire life to her family.
She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother,
and great- grandmother. She was affectionately
called "Old Grandma" by her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. Shirley loved to see her
family smile when all gathered together for
holiday festivities and would spend her last
dime to achieve this. Shirley stayed active and
was a hard worker up to her last day on this
earth. She was equally devoted to a very special group
of friends from Warrensburg who regularly played
cards, ate out, traveled and visited the "River
Boat." Shirley was loved and admired by everyone around
her. She will be sorely missed, but has left
pleasant memories of dedication to family and
friends that will often bring smiles to all who
knew her. |
