Shirley was a fashion merchandise manager with Riverside furniture for 40+ years. She was personally responsible for accessorizing the showrooms in Dallas, Las Vegas and High Point, North Carolina. Her sense of style showed in all aspects of her life.

Shirley was an excellent seamstress. She made her daughter’s prom dresses, her oldest daughter‘s wedding dress, and quilts for all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Shirley spent time volunteering with her church aiding abused women. She created baskets to help them get started in their new houses. Shirley learned at a young age how to make herself helpful in the kitchen. Her pies not only tasted wonderful, but they were a beauty to look at. Every holiday was carefully planned out from the dishes to the decorations.
