On Wednesday, September 11, 2019 Shirley Lee Matheny departed her earthly home to begin her next adventure at 95 years young, she joins her husband of 60 years, Donald Matheny whom we’re sure found himself a nice bench to await her arrival.
She leaves behind two children: Donna Matheny and Ronald Matheny (Kathy Matheny), three grandchildren Shanda Hesser (Nate Hesser), Joe Andrews (Destine Andrews) and Christine Matheny, along with seven great-grandchildren to continue the Matheny legacy.
Shirley lived a life of deep happiness and fulfillment. An accomplished teacher and artist, she spent her life bringing joy to first her students and then her family as their beloved matriarch.
She was a woman who left her family in awe of her, day in and day out. She aspired to bring love and comfort to everyone she met.
She is deeply loved and will be deeply missed.
Following Shirley's wishes, private service were held.
