Shirley was a wonderful stay-at-home Mom who lived at the ballfield with her kids, always encouraging and cheering them on. She was so out-going & always ready to laugh. She loved to garden, travel, hit Oaklawn and the Casinos and dining out. Shirley loved the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes and was convinced she would eventually win! A wonderful cook, her specialty was her fabulous fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. Shirley was always full of life and loved living it. A funeral service celebrating her life will be held at 10 a.m., Monday, August 12th at Griffin Leggett Rest Hills, 7724 Landers Rd. in North Little Rock.
