September 21, 1944 – October 21, 2026
With heavy hearts and deep love, we announce the passing of Shirley Stephenson Lambright, who left this world on October 21, 2026. Shirley was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, and a cherished member of her family. Her life was a beautiful example of selflessness, kindness, and unconditional love.
Shirley was the kind of person who gave everything she had to everyone around her. She always put others before herself and was there whenever someone needed a helping hand, a listening ear, or a little extra love. Her heart was generous, her love was endless, and her family meant more to her than anything else in this world.
She found joy in the simple blessings of life. She loved horses, gardening, working in her yard, and caring for her dogs and cats. She enjoyed cooking for her family, country-western dancing, and watching hummingbirds and cardinals. These were some of the things that brought happiness to her days, but nothing compared to the love she had for her family. Making sure the people she loved were cared for was simply who she was.
Shirley leaves behind a family who will forever cherish her memory and the love she shared so freely. She is survived by her daughters, Tracy Burke and Tammy Hendrick, and her son-in-law, William (Butch) Hendrick.
Her grandchildren include Carrie Adams, Dustin Hendrick, Cody Adams, Brett Hendrick, Dalton Hendrick, Jessica Burke, Lauren Hendrick, and Ainsley Hendrick. She was also a proud great-grandmother to Destinee Adams, Kasiyah Adams, Landyn Powers, Everly Hendrick, Kristefer Mills, Easton Hendrick, and Hayes Hendrick, and a loving great-great-grandmother to Zarrieon Adams and Zymir Adams.
She also leaves behind her beloved niece, Virginia Stephenson, who was raised alongside her as a sister and shared a special bond with her throughout their lives.
Though our hearts are broken by her passing, we find comfort in knowing that Shirley’s love will continue to live on through the generations of family she leaves behind. The lessons she taught through her kindness, the memories made around her table, and the countless ways she showed up for others will never be forgotten.
Her life reminds us that the greatest legacy we can leave is not what we own, but the love we give and the lives we touch. We take comfort in our Christian faith and the hope of eternal life, trusting that God’s love will carry us through this time of sorrow.
She gave so much, loved so deeply, and asked for so little in return. Her hands may be still, but the love she planted in the hearts of her family will continue to grow for generations to come.
Rest peacefully, Shirley. You were loved beyond measure, and you will be missed more than words can ever express. Until we meet again, may you rest in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior.
