Shirley enjoyed making cement crafts, ceramics plaster crafts, landscaping, camping, and animals. She loved talking to people and helping them out.
The memories I will cherish most about her were: her Dalmatian “Squall”, because people were always amazed by the tricks she could do. Anyone who met my mother thought she was the sweetest person including all my friend and the nurses at the nursing home. This is my greatest memory of her. My mother was always proud of me, but I was prouder that she always stood by my side.
In addition to her parents Shirley is preceded in death by her sister Betty Dewitt; brothers Jacky Drennen, Junior Drennen, Donald Drennen, Billy Drennen and Bobby Drennen.
