Ms. Shirley was a part of my life for as long as I can remember. So grateful to Shirese and Corky for sharing her. Her unforgettable "Shirley-isms"-those witty, wise, and unique expressions-will always stay with me. She was truly one of a kind, and her presence left an indelible mark on everyone who was blessed to know her.

Mrs. Hursey was a staple in our community. I will miss her and I am praying for her love ones,

Corky and the extended Hursey family, My deepest sympathies to you and all of the Hursey family during this time of loss. May the love and memories you share of Shirley bring you comfort during this difficult time.

Our deepest & most sincere condolences from the family of Felix & Rhoda Henry, formally of Mound City, Illinois.

Our sincere condolences to the family. May the lord bless and keep you. Linda Brenda and Joe Benton Jr.

My sincere condolences and prayers to the Hursey family and its entirety that God will send HIS comforting angels all around you. Mrs. Shirley was my supervisor at C.E.R.L. back in the 80's. Myself and a few other young ladies was in the high school work program trying to get more graduate credits for graduation. Mrs. Shirley always stayed on us about school and life. You can rest now Mrs. Shirley.

Mrs. Shirley Hursey, was a down to earth person. I met her when I joined the youth choir at Bethel A.M.E. Church. There was not much a young person couldn't talk to her about. Straight forward and telling the truth. She even made a lasting impression on my granddaughter Krissie. They shared the same birthday and Krissie always asked me about her. Ms Hursey may you rest in Truth, your truth. May your family and friends hear your voice in the breeze as it graces their ears. Till we meet again.
