As we age, so many of us become more sedentary. Not Shirley! I would brag to friends that, in her 80s and 90s, she would still be doing farm chores that would have been difficult for many of us in our 60s. I would watch, yes, watch, her use a pitchfork and heave hay over stall gates to feed her animals. She never missed a day until her cancer was beating her. I admired her strength and determination to be that farm girl. I miss her. Julia

Sorry to hear about the passing of Shirley. Jim and I enjoyed stopping to see them while camping at the campground next door. They seldom missed the squirrel fry in the fall at our place. Will be missed

Shirley was a very kind lady. She was my son´s grandmother. I was fortunate to have her as my mother in law for a few years. She was always busy "working "at what she loved . She´s finally resting
