    I will deeply miss Miss Shirley’s smile! I worked with her briefly when she was stationed in Fort Smith and I always looked forward to seeing her at events and knew she would have a big smile on her face. Prayers for the family.

    My only sister-in-law was a woman of true character whose genuine love and family commitment will forever be imprinted in my heart. Shirley’s welcoming smile was always soothing to the soul and will live on through her children for generations.
    Love,
