She could fill the room with her humor and laughter. A great mom, community volunteer, and business woman. A role model for me and my sister. Vida Gude (cousin)

My heart goes out to Shirley's family and friends. She was one of the most pleasant women I have had the pleasure of knowing. She showed exceptional tolerance and patience toward others. If only we would all follow her example the world would be a better place. She has left us too soon but her grace will remain with us through her many associations while here on earth. There is no doubt that she made this world a better place while she was here. Rest in Peace.
