Shirley was one of a kind. I had the pleasure of working with Shirley for several years at the Department of Revenue. After her retirement, I use to meet Shiley in Las Vegas as she tried to conquer the slot machines. Shirley was very personable and she had a great sense of humor. I will miss our annual phone call. Shirley was one of the best of the best.
