Shirley spent her early years on an Oklahoma farm that her parents operated. She had two older brothers, Robert and Phillip, so she was the baby of the Kibby family.

Shirley met the love of her life John, at the Tall Club on November 1969 and then they were married in Las Vegas on February 26th, 1970, after 3 months of dating. They had a beautiful marriage of 53 years.

During their early years of marriage in the 1970s, they lived in Anaheim, California and had two children, Kerstin and Scott. In 1983, they moved to Shreveport, Louisiana.

She worked as an activity director in many nursing homes around the Shreveport-Bossier area, with the primary place being Riverview Care Center in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Shirley always had a love for birds, puzzles, sewing, basketball, and family vacations.
