The beautiful places Shirley has been to and seen most people could only have dreamed of! Shirley had a wonderful life! She loved traveling and enjoyed gardening, flowers, and shopping!
Shirley was a great cook and she would always say that Nanny her mother-in-law, Esther Hayes Coyle, taught her to cook. She would go on to say she cooked more like Nanny than her mother Geneva Black.

Shirley adored her children. She kept them both "dressed to the nines" from head to toe!! She always kept them in activities at school.
