Shirley brightened the days of many Groom residents while working at the Ranch House Cafe, NB Drive-in younger in life. Later, the Dairy Queen and S&H Grocery became her passion. If you came in having a bad day she made sure you left having a good one with no charge. She had a mischievous laugh that was unmatched and a sense of humor that could make anyone blush. She loved cruising around town honking and waving at everyone, being with her family, and playing 31.
