Shirley's remarkable life was marked by her longtime ownership and operation of S & S Variety store and the S & S Cafe (aka The Restaurant) in Hundred, WV, where she shared her love of home-cooked meals and fresh coffee with her many customers - whom she cherished as friends. As a member of the Hundred Church of Christ, she embodied the values of kindness and generosity. Her enthusiasm for watching Tiger Woods play golf, family games of Sequence, playing bingo, watching Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and classic westerns brought her much joy. Shirley's memory will be a blessing to all who knew her, remembered for her radiant smile, generous heart, and unwavering strength.
Respecting her wishes, there will be no service, but a private family memorial will be held at a later date. Schuetz Funeral Home is assisting the family.
