Shirley Lee Shrewsbury

Shirley Shrewsbury, age 93, went to be with the Lord on May 28, 2026. Born on August 12, 1932, in Basin, West Virginia, Shirley lived a life defined by hard work, dedication to family, and service to his country. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Throughout his life, Shirley worked in many trades, including coal mining, logging, plumbing, electrical work, and HVAC. He took great pride in his work and was known for his strong work ethic and willingness to lend a helping hand whenever needed. Shirley also proudly served his country in the United States Army with the 101st Airborne Division during the Korean War.

A talented woodworker and lover of the outdoors, Shirley found joy in spending time in nature and sharing that passion with his family. Some of his grandchildren’s fondest memories are of the long hikes they took together through the mountains. Although he grew up with very little, Shirley worked tirelessly to ensure that his family had everything they needed and wanted.

Nothing brought Shirley greater happiness than being surrounded by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He spoke of them with immense pride and cherished the time they spent working alongside him on projects. Through his example, he taught his family the value of hard work, integrity, and kindness.

Shirley was married to the love of his life, Margaret, for 68 wonderful years. Margaret preceded him in death.

He is survived by his daughter, Brenda; his grandchildren, Bradley Britt, Patrick Infante and his wife, Casey Infante; his great-grandchildren, Benjamin Britt and Brayden Britt; his brothers, Claude Shrewsbury, Martin Shrewsbury, and Damon Shrewsbury; and his sister, Dori Woody.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Lee and Lovdie Shrewsbury; his beloved wife, Margaret Shrewsbury; his brothers, Denny and Calvin Shrewsbury; and his sisters, Hazel and Peggy.

Shirley’s legacy of love, generosity, hard work, and devotion to family will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind. His life was a testament to the values he cherished, and his memory will be treasured forever.

A Celebration of Life for Shirley will be held at his residence on June 28th at 1:00 PM.
