Shirley received a bachelors degree in business management from the University of South Florida. Shirley was generous, kind, loving and some times stubborn. Shirley was an all lines insurance adjuster working for a personal injury law firm that nicknamed her Bulldog for her tenacity in achieving settlements that clients deserved. Shirley’s last job was with Publix Supermarkets which she called her fun job. Shirley worked 7 years at store #867 on Fort Harrison near downtown Clearwater, fl. Shirley was the lady that gave out samples and recommended products and loved helping customers find and make wise buying decisions. Customers and fellow employees sorely miss Shirley’s smile and gracious demeanor.
Shirley and I (Ray) met on the internet in casual conversation Late June1998. It soon turned romantic and went from an ember to a roaring fire though we were separated by several states. I came to Florida and we were married August 1998 and the fire never died out. We went for walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, spur of the moment do something and fabulous vacations in the mountains. Unless we were working we were together. Shirley was a true Christian and demonstrated it in every facet of her life. I miss the Love of my life, my best friend and doing everything together. With her birthday on February 14 Shirley is my true valentine. We will meet again in Heaven.
