Shirley is preceded in death by her parents, Floyd and Sadie Peters; son, James Michael Lane; brother, James Peters; sisters, Mary Lee Sorrel, Peggy Jo Davis and Dorothy Ledbetter.

Shirley was truly one of a kind, a wild card with absolutely no filter. You never quite knew what she was going to say, but that was part of what made her so special. She was full of love and laughter. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were truly her pride and joy.
She leaves behind so many memories, stories, laughs, and so much love that we will carry with us forever. She will be deeply missed, but we are grateful for every moment we had with her and the beautiful mark she left on our family.
Rest peacefully, Grandma Shirley. You were truly one of a kind, and you will never be forgotten.
A Memorial service will be Saturday, September 12, 2026 at Kilgroe Funeral Home in Pell City, AL. Visitation will be from 1pm to 2pm with the Memorial Service beginning at 2pm.
