Life is not forever, but love is 💛 When this life we live is over and we walk the streets of gold, far away from all the sorrows where our flesh will not grow old, I will find you there.
Life story
Shirley was a Christian and attended the Trinity Wesleyan Church most of her life. She worked many years as the children’s librarian at the Oak Hill Public Library until her retirement. She loved to spend time with her family, going out to eat and to the movies, or spending time outside on her porch.
