Shirley was a production factory worker for many years and a lady that spoke her mind. She raised her kids with love and loved her grandkids like they were her own, then later shared that same love with her great grandchildren. She has left us, but not forever. The void she left will never be filled, but with God’s help we will slowly heal knowing her earthly pain is over and we’ll be reunited with her again one day. We love and miss her greatly.
