Shirley will be remembered for her deep love of family, her fiery personality, and her passion for Mexican food. She was the heart and soul of the family, a woman of strength, humor, and unwavering devotion. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her love and legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
