I am so very sorry for your loss. Shirley was my professor, friend, and mentor through my learning transformation. In and out of class we cried, laughed, and I certainly owe where I am today because of her work at Kent State.
She once gave me the highest honor I could ever hope to have - she called me Kola. To this day I remain humble knowing the full power of the word.

Oh Shirley - I did not know about your passing. You are a beloved friend and will always have a place in my heart.
Shirley and I were friends from KSU days and from pow-wow travels. She was fun, compassionate, thoughtful and an energetic fancy shawl dancer!She loved teaching and bringing people together. Sending love and healing thoughts to the family.

I just heard of Shirley's passing. She will be greatly missed. She adored working with the kids at SCSD and she also talked fondly about her job at the Turning Stone. She was kind, easy to talk to, and quick to smile. Condolences to her family.

Shirley was a very gracious woman. The thing that stayed in my memory the most was that no matter what, she tried to be kind to everyone that she met.

I worked with Shirley for a long time at Turning Stone and so enjoyed all our conversations. She was such a caring and thoughtful woman. I will miss her stories and that smile she would have when you knew she was thinking something she didn't want to share. I will remember her as someone who put everyone else first, even in our last conversation and am grateful to all the little craft ideas that she gave me. She will be very sadly missed and I know she is in a much better place. My condolences to her family. We here in "the Cage" were all lucky to have known her.

We will miss Shirley greatly but will remember her fondly. We feel honored to have known and worked with her.
The last time I saw her was before Christmas. She brought in a huge bowl of candy and in hindsight was so fitting...Shirley was always so thoughtful and sharing.
Our deepest sympathy.
