Shirolyn Ruth Moffett

Shirolyn Ruth Moffett M.D. died on Monday, August 22 in Harrison after a long and courageous fight against multiple myeloma at the age of 64. Dr. Moffett was born on October 17, 1951, in Austin, Texas. Dr. Moffett graduated with a degree in education from Texas A&M in 1973. However, she had always wanted to be a doctor. After raising four children, and at the age of 38, she studied for and was accepted into medical school. In 1994 she graduated with honors from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Over the next 18 years, Dr. Moffett lovingly served patients in Fort Smith, Harrison, Berryville, and Eureka Springs, delivering thousands of babies across the region. Dr. Moffett's life was dedicated to service: service to the community through her profession as a doctor, and to her extensive network of friends and family through her support, her love, and her positive energy. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 3 at the First United Methodist Church of Harrison. Memorials in Dr. Moffett's name can be made to Sanctuary of Harrison (PO Box 762, Harrison, Ark. 72602) or to the Boone County Library. On-line condolences may be left at coffmanfh.com.
