She graduated from Keenesburg High School, the Skippers, in 1953. Shirley loved cheerleading and dancing. She taught dance lessons in Keenesburg for years and traveled the state with a dance troupe. She was featured on television and even danced at the Stanley Hotel. She proudly represented the Southeast Weld County Rodeo as Queen in 1949 and later she and Bill were recognized as Grand Marshalls.

In February of 1957 they welcomed their daughter Jeanette Elaine. In May, 1958, William David was born. Four years later son Alan Eugene arrived. Gary Lee was born September 1963 and Gerald Ray completed the family in July, 1969. In the 1950s, Shirley and Bill made a home south of Keenesburg on the dryland. She was integral in the chicken business, gathering thousands of eggs and candling them while she cared for her young children and cooked for the farm employees. Many of the farm hands would forego their pay just for a meal from Shirley. While they lived on the dryland, she became a member of the U and I Club. She cherished her friendships with these ladies and nothing could interfere with "Club”. She was a lifelong member. Later in life, she was a member of the Shirley’s Club of Greeley and the Shirley’s Club of Denver. She loved her interactions and friendships with other Shirleys. In 1963, they moved from the dryland to their home on Road 49. They lived there for 53 years before relocating to Keenesburg. Shirley worked on the farm, irrigating and baling hay. She was also a professional seamstress and operated a drapery business with her mother. In her spare time, she baked and decorated wedding cakes. She was a Mary Kay consultant for 27 years and valued time spent with her customers and her Mary Kay family. Shirley’s hands were never idle and were always helping anyone in need. She was blessed with a servant’s heart and left an imprint of it on everyone she met. She was known for her amazing talents in the kitchen and she was always the consummate hostess. You could never visit without being offered a cup of coffee and a cookie or piece of cake. Bill and Shirley loved to travel and were fortunate enough to visit all 50 states and Mexico and Canada. Many of their favorite memories revolve around travel adventures with their friends. She loved cruising, train travel, and road trips. Shirley’s greatest legacy is her family. She was proud of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She and Bill rarely missed a game or an event they were involved in and she taught all of them to dance in the kitchen. The ideal day for Shirley included a houseful of family, a table brimming with food, lots of laughter and card games galore.
