It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ms. Shirley Williamson, who left this world on December 14, 2023. Born on January 5, 1965, Shirley lived a vibrant and spirited life, touching the lives of many with her kind heart and warm spirit.

Shirley is survived by her loving daughters Deetra Jenkins and ShaDawn Stephens, who were the light of her life and were blessed to learn many valuable lessons from Shirley before her peaceful departure. Her Special friend (Mike) will forever be a tribute to her memory.

Her life and legacy continue to thrive in her beloved granddaughters Quintiana Stephens, Davi James, and Quintavia Stephens, whom she cherished greatly. A host of nieces and nephews whom she shared great moments with. 

A woman who loved freely. Shirley is also survived by her sister, Annie Nettles, and brothers, Richard Robinson, Howard Williamson, and Aurdy Williamson. Your siblings are your first friends

Her life is further celebrated by her Son-in-law, Lazarus Jenkins & Quinton Stephens, who was as son's to her and brought immense joy into her life. Shirley became a legacy in the absence of her late parents, Luvenia Williamson and Edward Mouzon, and her brother Frank Robinson, 2 sisters Ann Chester & Josephine Mouzon, and her niece, Amanda Robinson, who all preceded her in death.

Shirley had a deep love for music, Uncle Charlie, Smokey Robinson & Rod Wave being one of her most admired artists. She found escapism and joy in television, her favorite shows including 'Colombo' and 'The Monk.’ She always looked forward to spending her evenings absorbed in these shows, often singing along to her favorite tunes.

Shirley will forever be remembered for her unwavering love for her family, her passion for music and her radiant spirit that lit up any room. Her memory will continue to be a beacon of light, leading us through life and guiding us on our own paths. As we mourn her untimely departure, we also celebrate a life well-lived, filled with love, laughter, and song.

Rest in peace, Shirley Williamson.

Please keep the family of Shirley Ann Williamson in your thoughts and prayers.
