Shirley spent many years working as a secretary, helping folks find work through staffing and job placement, but her happiest times were outside of the office. She loved crocheting and could often be found working on a new project while enjoying a puzzle or a good card game. She liked to fish, never said no to ice cream, and could always make a house feel like home. One of her proudest accomplishments was earning her GED at the age of 65, proving it’s never too late to finish what you start. She also enjoyed worshiping with her friends at Masena Church.
Shirley was preceded in death by her husband, Jim Edward Poor, her son, Jimmy Ray Poor, her daughter, Linda Kay Bowdler, six brothers, and three sisters.
Those left to cherish her memory are her daughter, four grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and a host of other family and friends.
Shirley will be remembered for her warm heart, her humor, and the way she enjoyed life’s simple things, from a good fishing trip to a bowl of ice cream. Most of all, she’ll be remembered for the love she poured into her family and friends.
