Her creativity was evident during the holidays, when she enjoyed crafting and baking, particularly pineapple cookies, with her grandsons Wesley and Austin. Whether she was watching tv with her beloved Al, shopping with her daughter, listening to the music of Earth, Wind & Fire, or relaxing with her grandpups, Koda and Louie, Shirley cherished every moment spent with family.
