Savior, Jesus Christ on September 10, 2015 after a 5 year battle with dementia. She passed

peacefully at her home surrounded by her family. She was a long-time resident of Flower

Texas State University where she studied accounting.

capturing the beauty of nature through photography. Unbeknownst to many, Shirley often wrote

poetry to proclaim the beauty of the world and her faith in the Lord.

and Kevin Trick; granddaughter Jocelyn Hoover; great-grandsons Axel and Ryker Waitman;

Shields, Carl and Sherry Shields; and an abundance of nieces, nephews, cousins and dear

friends.
