Her parents, Forrest "Babe" and Bertha (Dubois) Cummings welcomed their daughter into the world on October 28, 1938, in Keene, NH. She was a 1956 graduate of Keene High School.
Shirley began her career in 1982 working with the Grange Mutual and later the Peerless Insurance Company in Keene, retiring in 2004.
Her favorite times were those spent caring for children. She loved babysitting for many and had a special way with all those she cherished in this role. She set a good example for her own children, and later, cared for her parents, a role reversed from her childhood. She was a generous and giving person, putting others first before herself.
A devote parishioner of St. Margaret Mary Church in Keene, Shirely was a Eucharistic Minister during the weekly masses.
She will be greatly missed by many, especially her husband of 62 years, Texas B. Lloyd of Keene; her two sons, Brian A. Lloyd and his wife, Tammy, of Rindge, NH, Philip W. Lloyd of Keene; her grandchildren, Nicholas Lloyd and his partner Angela Duval, Breana Vermette and her husband, Brennan, Spencer Lloyd, Cullen Lloyd, Carson Lloyd; and her great-grandchildren, Travis Vermette, Aidan Lloyd, Braden Lloyd, Connor Lloyd, Isaiah Lloyd, Hailey Lloyd, Anita Loyd, Ava Lloyd; and a daughter-in-law Jodi Lloyd of Troy, NH. Shirley was predeceased by a son Steven Lloyd; a grandson, Will Lloyd; a brother, Carl Cummings; and a sister, Lorraine Pratt.
