Her journey throughout life was marred by one disappointment after another. She experienced  emotional, physical as well as social traumas. Yet, in the face of adversity, she remained steadfast in her faith in God. Shirley truly enjoyed the simple things in life, bingo, good food, great music and all things dainty and feminine.
