Shirley had a deep faith and loved her family dearly. Spending time with them was her favorite thing to do. She was a very caring person, always looking out for others. She was known for her sewing, crocheting, and crafting, always proud to show her baby blankets and bridal dresses. Though she was an amazing cook, she enjoyed going out to eat and having a cocktail. Shirley enjoyed watching and cheering for the Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers, hoping they would hit on her numbers.
