Her door was always open, welcoming family, friends, neighbors, and anyone looking to share a chat and a laugh.

The family wishes to extend special thanks to Kevin and Nancy, whose kindness and care meant so much to Shirley. Heartfelt appreciation also goes to Shirley's niece Deneen and sister Linda for their unwavering support and companionship over the last two years.
