Shirley was a member of numerous organizations throughout her life and always celebrated her devoted faith in many parishes throughout the years, including, The Corpus Christi Catholic Church in St. Augustine, FL, the Holy Cross Garden Club in Pickens, SC, St. Edmund’s Catholic Daughters, and the Altar and Rosary Society.
