Shirley had a kind, giving soul and wanted to encourage others with her words and actions. She worked as a loyal employee of Warren G. Murray Center where she shared her positive personality with those in her care and her co-workers. Shirley also was an asset to SSM St. Mary’s Hospital in Centralia working diligently to make her workplace run smoothly. Shirley was a faithful member of the Second Missionary Baptist Church in Centralia. Her service for her Lord and Savior was evident in the humble way she made herself available for any task that she could offer her special gifts and talents to. She enjoyed gardening and found peace in the beauty of the gorgeous flowers she nurtured. Shirley was an intelligent woman and was well-read as she was an avid reader. She was excellent with a fishing rod and reel and would fry up her delicious catch to share with family and friends. Shirley will be remembered as an awesome Mom, always giving her heart and soul to support, comfort, and love on her family. She will be deeply missed by all those she knew and loved.
