Shirley loved her family more than anything! She loved making memories with her family whenever she could. She enjoyed the simple things in life like her Gabby Goo and finding four leaf clovers. She always made a great meal served with love, in a house adorned with her collection of crosses. And she liked to party! Bike rallies will never be the same.

She is also survived by son, Chris Barber of Paris, TX; daughter, Rachel Riggs and husband Steve of Niceville, FL; and daughter Katie Hulme and husband Kyle of Crestview, FL.
