Shirley was born and raised in Capreol. She was an active member of this community for her entire life. Shirley was a member of Eastern Star, Rebekah Lodge, Red Hats and had a love for line dancing. Early in her career, she worked in the offices at CN Rail before beginning work at the Capreol Municipal offices, a position she held for much of her working career.

Along with being a faithful member of the Church, she was an active Sunday school teacher, pianist, treasurer, and many more notable roles in the Church.
