Shirley Hodges Obituary
Shirley L. Hodges, 77, of Owensboro, passed away Tuesday July 23, 2024, at Hermitage Care and Rehabilitation. She was born November 2, 1946, to the late Earl L. McCrady and Martine Hall McCrady.

She is also survived by her brother, Earl (Edna) McCrady.
Shirley (Dooney) loved her family, puzzles, and the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team not necessarily in that order. Family learned to check the game schedule before calling to check in on her. Shirley was a LPN and spent much of her life caring for others. She will be greatly missed by all who love her.
A memorial gathering to celebrate her life will be arranged by her family.
