Shirley was the very best cousin I had she always message me on Facebook and I was always glad to hear from her ..I think that she was kin to Joyce Marie Floyd Measels I think that they were 1 or 2 cousins … she was my 2 or 3 cousin to me … she will greatly be missed
I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers for the family.
Shirley was always so caring and thoughtful it showed through her family, her fur baby and flowers 💐 Shirley was faithful with her daily Bible verses. God Bless her family and may He comfort you all through this time 🙏
As an extraordinary lady in many ways, Shirley Weems left a wonderful legacy that will be dearly cherished by her family and friends. As her mailcarrier from 1996 to 2007, I often was greeted by her kind words and her uplifting smile. Her devotion to her family was evident by her tender loving care for her husband, Mr. Ralph, during his illness and her kind, nurturing care for Mrs. Lucille, her mother. Mrs. Shirley was a blessing to so many people. She will be
missed.
Sorry to hear of the family loss, prayers for the family. We rode the school bus together back in the 50’s, have not seen her since. We did communicate by FB for the last 2 years, miss her.
So sorry to hear about Shirley’s passing. However I was in the hospital & rehab due to an accident. She was a very special NIECE. However, due to our thanks to our loving GOD and his SON and HOLY SPIRIT we will meet again someday and be together forever.
