Shirley loved teddy bears and scratching lottery tickets.
Surviving are her 4 children: Rodney (Laurie) Anderson, Bonnie Mason, Tammy Stanton, and Sherry Mallery; 10 grandchildren; 15 great grandchildren; and 1 great great granddaughter. Shirley is also survived by her brother, Franklin (Barbara) Campbell; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her grandson, Jeremy Mallery; siblings: Charles Campbell, Harriet Brown, Dorothy Wormuth, Florence Alexander, Barbara Stark, and Nellie Caruso; and her 2 previous husbands, Howard Anderson and Walter Wright.
