Shirley loved being around all of her family and friends. One of her favorite things to do was host family reunions. Shirley especially loved holidays because she knew her home would be full of family and friends with plenty of love to go around. Shirley loved to paint quilts, making hundreds throughout her life. She was always working with material. The family would like to thank Samantha Murrillo and Cheyann Fenton for their loving care as well as all the hospice staff. Your dedication and caring meant so much to the family and meant so much to Shirley.
