Mrs. Shirley Armour was my next door neighbor for 17 years.  She taught me how to latchhook and how to crotchet.  Mrs. Shirley always had time for me to drop by and in her generous way, always made me feel like I was the one doing her a favor by stopping in.  Kind, funny, always busy, and determined in her tasks, Mrs. Shirley was my favorite neighbor and loving friend growing up.  Devoted to Mr. Harold always, Mrs. Shirley showed me at an early age what true love looked like.  As much as Mrs. Shirley talked about and loved her grandsons and grandkids, a giant void is created in her passing.   I know though, that Mr. Harold and Mrs. Shirley are rejoicing with their Savior Jesus and delighted to be reunited with each other.

These are the arrangements for our sweet Aunt Shirley, who left us on Monday afternoon to be with the family members who had gone before. She was ready for the Lord to take her and prayed that prayer to Him when she had a bad night and struggled to breathe.  She was an incredibly beautiful woman who loved to have fun. She had the biggest, brightest smile all of the time.  She loved to laugh and treated us as if we were her own, calling each of us by our first and middle names. She was that Southern lady who loved to plant a big garden every year and wore a big hat to protect her from the sun. She always had plenty of vegetables to share with family, neighbors, and friends.  Her neighbors loved her and knew her well. She loved her horses and miniature horses 🐎, Gabby and Me Pretty too. She had others,but I always heard about them the most. She spent her Sundays at a local nursing home to visit with the residents  there and helped to provide church services for them. 
Although she married my mom's brother, my mom and her sisters always considered her as a sister, too. All four of them would gather at our Momo's house on a Saturday and they would give each other permanents, making a fun day of it and a very strong odor in the house that would make your eyes sting. She only had one child, sweet Lamesa, and they were like best friends.  They would kid with each other amd laugh. She loved her two grandsons and adored her three children.  She never seemed old, even at the age of 90. She will be sorely missed by our family!!

Thank you Lamesa for sharing your mom with me.  She taught me about Jesus. She taught me to love and care for others. She had a huge impact on my life. Thanking God she loved this group of silly girls and Dennis too as her own.  Now she is jitterbugging on the streets of gold wearing a crown of jewels! Well done good and faithful servant!
