Shirley traveled all over the U.S. trying to find the right spot. She moved to VT in the late 60s, then to AL in the early 70s where she stayed.
Shirley wore many hats during her years, but Home Health she loved. Her greatest treasure was her family, nothing came before them. She loved to go dancing on the weekends, family cookouts and working in the yard. Her greatest joy was “YARD SALING” her favorite motto was: “ASK MAMA FIRST” before you buy. Most times she would have what you needed, in her past few years she would spend summers with her children in Vermont, which she loved.
