Shirley was born January 8, 1941 in Carthage, Missouri to Beverly "Bud" and Fern (Berry) Sanders. She attended Opolis grade school before moving to Pittsburg in 1952, graduating from Pittsburg Senior High in 1958.
Shirley married Virgil Glenn on April 20, 1970. He preceded her in death on December 1, 2021.
Shirley's calling in life was taking care of the people she loved. She created a warm home, where her loved ones gathered to enjoy her wonderful cooking and to experience her gentle, nurturing heart. She will be deeply missed.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date. Shirley's final resting place will be Garden of Memories Cemetery in Pittsburg.
