I had the pleasure of working with Shirley. There was not one day that went by that she didn't bring a smile to my face. I will miss her unique sense of humor.

Dorrance, Becky and Alicia -
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the death of Shirley. I worked with Shirley for many years - most of the time at Terrus Real Estate Group.
She had a wonderful spirit and love about her. She was involved in our Bible Study and had such a love for God. I know, without a doubt, that she is in heaven now - pain free and care free too!
Shirley was also known as "one fine baker." :) She never forgot a birthday and always showered her co-workers with yummy treats on special days (some of which she'd proudly declare that one of you (Alicia and Becky), helped make).
My God bless you as you remember her and grieve.

To the family of Shirley,
I worked with Shirley at Terrus Real Estate Group. We often talked about our families and how much we loved them. I cannot express how much I enjoyed being friends with her. My birthday is December 23, two days before Christmas so most people didn't remember my special day, but Shirley always had a sweet treat and a present for me.
When Shirley left Terrus and went back to work at the Principal, Sande Palmer and I would meet Shirley for lunch and we were always greeted with a hug and how happy she was to see us.
Shirley was a KIND, and GIVING person. She will always have a very special place in my heart.
I know you will all miss her. I am praying for your family during this very difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
I used to work with Shirley. She always made me smile. Prior to her leaving Principal, I bought her bobblehead Wizard of Oz figurines from her. I'm so glad I did -- now I have treasures that will always remind me of Shirley!
