Shirley was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on September 28, 1926 to Elizabeth Moffat Lindsay and George Henry Adlam.

She immigrated to the United States in 1947 and proudly became a naturalized United States citizen in 1954. She held Top-Secret Security Clearance for many years in conjunction with her job as executive secretary to one of the top physicists at Atomics International.
Shirley is survived by her husband of nearly 50 years, Frederick, daughter Fionna (John), son Brett (Mary), grand daughters Allison, Carolina, Lisa and Isabel, and nephews Ashley, Patrick, Trevor and Brent.
