Shirley was devout in her faith and family. She had a special devotion to Jesus’ mother Mary. She loved to cook and we loved her cooking. She was so very loved by us all. Shirley stated faith is more than having religion. Can’t write everything that would only touch the surface of how hard she worked and what she meant to her family and communities she touched. Her favorite prayer when we had to go through difficult times…

“All for thee sweet Jesus”
