Shirley graduated from Northern High School and was a loving and devoted wife, grandmother, aunt and friend. Throughout her life, Shirley worked at Laucks news agency, South Hanover Elementary School and for Hallmark. But her most cherished job was taking care of her six grandchildren that she adored. You could always find Shirley with any of her grandchildren, whether it was attending sporting events, school concerts or dance recitals, she never missed an opportunity to spend time with them. Shirley was not only known as Gammy by her grandchildren but also by her grandchildren's friends and her children's close friends.
