She was generous willing to give a pair of crocheted slippers and baby booties to many who knew her. Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be kept warm by her hand-sewn quilts she made for each one of them.
She was a sitter for the elderly for many years. She owned a grocery store in Grand Caillou in her early married years and saved money to move to Houma.
She was a devoted Jehovah's Witness for 46 years along with her husband, Linus, visited others especially other elderly ones to give them spiritual encouragement. She was well loved by her spiritual brothers and sisters receiving encouragement in return from them.
Shirley and Linus were very fine examples to everyone of how they cared for each other in show true love.
Shirley was loved tremendously by her family and friends and she will never be forgotten.
