Shirley always had that smile, and was so full of ENERGY and FUN. I loved how she lit up the room when she walked in. We had the greatest times at our family events. From the overnight stay of the early years with Joyce and the girls, where we stayed up all night and had many laughs, to the trip to Solvang with her Mom and Sister, memories that will last longer than a lifetime! Her magnetism will never be forgotten.
Love to you always, Until we meet again, Debby

Shirley’s love for life was infectious. I can’t possibly imagine her without a smile on her face or her unmistakable laugh! Bob I know how much you loved each other and you were completely wrapped around her finger! “Ohhh Bobby!” was all she had to say. Jana and Dawn are her partners in crime. We love you guys and my heart goes out to all of you. She is too young and the void she is leaving is almost unimaginable.
Sending you all happy wishes and lots of love from MN.
Mike, Collin and Kenzie (Jones)

Shirley will always be with me, she has a place in my heart forever! I was and still amazed at her compassion for others. She never let anything she was going through stop her from serving others. I owe my relationship with Jesus to her and Bobby. They never gave up on me and her love for Jesus inspired me. I love you Shirley and one thing I know now is I will see you again one day!! Thank you!
Love, Travis

Shirley had such a zest for living life to the fullest. Her personality was bubbly and warm and she was always a joy to be around. I have many fond memories of Shirley but what stands out in my thoughts of her, is her deep love of Bob and her family and friends. She will be missed so much by so many. The happy and positive way she led her life is an inspiration to all. She didn’t take life granted, she immersed herself within it.
Love,
Jane Knapp
