It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Shirley June Young. Shirley passed on Wednesday, March 24, 2021 at the age of 75 years with her family by her side.
She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Vickie Lane, Jerry Jacobs and wife Jennifer, Alan Lane, Tammy Seyler and husband Randall, and Rick Dupire and wife Josie; special niece Raelee Rodgers whom she loved like a daughter; grandchildren, April Merritt, Conor Jacobs, Stephany Reavis, Austin Stephens, and Alena, Hector & Jojo Dupire; great grandchildren Montana & Remington Skelton, Emery Workman, Trevor, Landon & Rowdy Reavis.

She was predeceased by her parents John Metzker & OmaLee Reynolds (Ward), her brother John “Bo” Metzker, sisters Karol Traw and Patsy Johnson.
Shirley was a kind soul that loved to serve and care for others. She had a passion for nursing and well-loved by her patients. She graduated from Kiamichi Vo-Tech and retired after 48 years of nursing.
Shirley enjoyed volunteering in her community throughout the years with organizations such as Special Olympics, Sebastian County Historical Society Re-enactments, and was a member of Beta Sigma Phi sorority.
Most of all Shirley loved her family and always opened her door to those in need. She enjoyed helping others and her motto was that she would never turn anyone away from her table.
