Smith, her parents and one brother, Jerry Thompson and a special sister-in-law, Sue Smith, and numerous brothers & sister-in-law's.

Shirley was very loved by her family and enjoyed "making memories" with all of her family and friends. She was "Mamaw" to a host of grandkids and great grandkids. She was a wonderful "Mama" to her three daughters and a loving wife to her husband. She could not turn down a good garage sale find and often said when she would haul her finds home, "I'm just doing this for your girls to have fun going through and I will be looking down from heaven laughing at y'all." One of her favorite past-times was making embroidered quilts and playing games on her I-Pad.

We will miss her very much but know in our hearts that she is in no more pain and in a better place alongside her loving husband, Jim, sharing a piece of gum just like the day they met at Capital Hill Movie Theater in Oklahoma City!
