Shirley had a passion for watching 'I Love Lucy,' 'The Golden Girls,' and professional wrestling, often being heard yelling at the wrestlers. She enjoyed listening to music from the 60s and 70s, coloring, and doing crossword puzzles.

She is survived by her sons, Sean Moore and his wife Tawnya of Cimarron, and Jason A. Jones and Shanana of Newton; ten grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; and two sisters, Ida Mae Sulenes of North Carolina and Mary Herrington of Woodward, Oklahoma.
