We were so sad when we heard of Shirley's death. I was related through Tillie Hubbell Wright and spent wonderful hours visiting and loving the mountain. My sympathies to all the children and grands and great grands. The Jack Wright family send their thoughts and prayers to all!

Shirley touched many lives with her old fashioned values and stories of days gone by. She spoke often of her family and her deep devotion to the love of her life, Gerald. You were blessed with a special Mom and I was blessed to have her as a friend. She will be missed but never forgotten.
