Although I didn't get to say farewell to Shirley, I will always have fond memories of a special friend that once saved my life. My deepest sympathy goes out to the family. Also, Mamaw would want her grandkids to remember the good times and laughter.
She was a great lady, And she will be missed by all that knew her!
This women was a wonderfull women, i remember when ronnie kay and i was around 12 r so and joe and shirley took us to the cementary to listen to the organ play at 12 midnight we was scared but we went, just getting to ride in a car was a big deal to us and get to stay out like that was great, well ronnie kay and i, ramona foster was walking through there and joe jumped out of the tree and had is coat pulled up over his head as if he was a headless person, we let me tell u we ran and ran got in the car and covered our heads, they told us storyies of a ft being in the road and at times it would run after u, she and joe was wonderfull funny people, not a dule moment around them two, u r going to be missed alot
