Shirley was born in Ladd in 1922 to Mae (Talbott) Rosenzweig.

Shirley was preceded in death by Eugene Barry II who she married on October 24, 1939, in Crown Point, IN. Eugene was born March 20, 1917, in Spring Valley and died October 20, 1966, in Spring Valley (Shirley never remarried). Also preceding her in death was son Eugene Barry, daughter Linda Barry and mother Mae Rosenzweig.

Ms. Barry went to Hall High School in Spring Valley. Shirley worked for Hobbs in Spring Valley and retired after 32 years of service.

She was a devoted parishioner of St. Benedict's Catholic Church in Ladd until it was closed. She was the past President of the Ladd American Legion Auxiliary Club.

Shirley lived her entire life in Ladd and was believed to be the oldest Ladd resident at the time of her death. Not only being a lifelong resident, Shirley loved living in Ladd and enjoyed the small-town benefits it offered.
