Shirley was an exceptional real estate broker for 42 years and enjoyed the business so much that she continued to work at her labor of love until just a few months ago. We used to joke with her that she could still remember the color of the carpet and countertops at the first house she ever sold. One of her favorite family activities was to go out on car rides and check out new developments or listings with her real estate partner and best friend, Alton. Real Estate was definitely in her blood.
Shirley took great pride in helping her husband Alton keep their home and property manicured year-round and she was still potting flowers in March, just prior to their move to Kingwood. Every potential buyer of their home was in awe over the lush and vibrant landscape that she helped to create.
Shirley was a devoted Christian and attended Church of God, a Worldwide Association in North Houston, TX. She seldom missed a service, but in inclement weather or times of ill health and unable to attend, she watched church videos. Nothing could stop her from honoring the Sabbath.
Shirley lived a full and generous life and leaves behind a grateful family. She will walk beside us forever. Because she was such a rainbow to everyone, we would like for you to join us in wearing colors of the rainbow at her service. She would love that.
