Shirley’s ancestors arrived in America from England in the late 1600’s. She was born at her grandparents farm house in Ohio.

In her late 20’s, she taught herself how to drive prior to taking her driver’s test. She proceeded to join a bowling league, a women’s pinochle group, participated in her children’s school functions, and enjoyed being a Sunday school teacher.
