She is survived by her children and their spouses, Deidre Dejean Jones (Robby) and Clifton "Chip" Albert DeJean III (Kelly); her grandchildren, Kristen Jones, Simone DeJean-Theriot (Kale), Keaton Jones, and Camille Bright (Steven); and five great-grandchildren, Kinleigh, Crew, Emory, Hollis, and Cooper. She was preceded in death by her husband, Clifton Albert Dejean Jr.; and her brothers, Ned Jennings of Lexington, Kentucky, and Joe Jennings of Carlisle, Kentucky.
In accordance with her wishes, Shirley's body was donated to the LSU Bureau of Anatomical Services. A private memorial service will be held at a later date when her ashes will be interred at St. Luke's Episcopal Church columbarium.
May her memory bring comfort to those who knew her.
