She also leaves her faithful feline companion, Tom. Shirley attended the Bible Baptist Church of Mattoon. Prior to retiring from Catholic Charities, she was formerly employed by K-Mart, Mattoon Garment Factory, and Porter Paint Store where she was a craft instructor for many years. Never one to stay idle for long, Shirley was active in the Follies at Lake Land College, was a charter volunteer in the fundraising for the Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center Building Fund, and served as host to many young people through her church and school. Gifted with a talent for singing, she served as soloist for many funerals, weddings, and churches. She was also quite the seamstress. In her free time she loved shopping; however, her favorite way to spend time was with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even the neighborhood children. Shirley dearly loved her family “with all her heart” as she often reminded them. She will forever be remembered for her abounding love. Memorials in her honor may be made to the Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center Regional Cancer Center, or Dial-a-Ride.
