Shirley attended New Life Assembly of God Church in Oak Grove, MO where she enjoyed attending services with her family and serving at the monthly grocery giveaway as often as she was able to. Shirley enjoyed taking walks with her dog, going to Branson and spending time at the lake. More than anything, she treasured spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was always up for an adventure if it meant spending time with them. From road trips or flights for family trips across state lines, to driving local for as many extra-curricular events, pageants, plays, shows, etc. that she could show her love and support at. Shirley also enjoyed making everyone their favorite cakes for their birthdays, even if they were on a trip celebrating. She enjoyed getting on her new tablet and calling her grandchildren and great-children even if it was to make funny faces the whole time.
