Mrs. Shirley was a lovely lady, as well a former employee Navy Exchange NWS. She loved shopping at NEX, she will be missed. Fond memories I will always cherish about Mrs. Shirley, making sure her A&W Root Beer was in stock for her purchases at Navy Exchange. She told me she loved to make Root Beer floats and A&W was the best brand to make it with. I made sure it was always available for purchase. I knew Mrs. Shirley would be looking for me personally if it wasn't stocked. Sending Prayers to her Family. May God Bless each of you with his Love and Peace.

I will miss Shirley. She and Otis sat behind me at church every Sunday and we always talked. Then after I moved up to live near my daughter she would join us when I came down for our pizza get-togethers. You all will be in my prayers.
Love, TIna
