Shirley was born on June 6, 1941 in Greenville to the late Roscoe and Esta (Hathaway) Fletcher.
Shirley was a member of EUM Church and Members Choice Credit Union where she served on its board of directors for 29 years, becoming its president. She loved bowling and was a past member of the Greenville Women’s bowling Association. Shirley was a member of the Greenville Moose and American Legion. She was an avid golfer. She and Thomas would play together and even played in several doubles tournaments. Shirley was an amazing cook. She loved her family and enjoyed preparing a large meal for them. She could bake anything, but her specialty was sugar cream pies, which, according to Shirley, are always best served fresh and still hot from the oven. Shirley’s new-found passion was camping, and her greatest love was, of course, her family and her great grandchildren. She was the cornerstone of her family and her absence will always be felt.
