Shirley was a loving wife of 60 years, mother, and grandmother who always went above and beyond to take care of her family. She loved to visit, laugh and have fun with family and friends. She liked to entertain and was an excellent cook. Shirley always decorated for the holidays, birthdays, and made every gathering special with delicious food and heartfelt love. She loved giving to others. Shirley also enjoyed painting and creating flower arrangements. 
She was a member of the Mary Howell Garden Club of Beaumont, and the Craft Club, a ladies social group. Also, she and her husband, Cal, were members of the 50s Club, a group of couples who have been married for 50 years or longer. 
Shirley and Cal loved the beach. They were involved in neighborhood activities, such as the Mardi Gras court. The beach house was a place for family to gather and many happy, lasting memories were made there.
Shirley’s legacy will be how she taught her children and grandchildren to be strong in their faith, live with gratitude and celebrate life. She was a very caring soul who always put family first.
In their later years, Shirley and Cal enjoyed sitting on their back deck feeding the squirrels and the birds and talking about life.
