Shirley and her husband John, who survives, were married over 53 years. They spent the entirety of their marriage in Montgomery County.

Shirley loved her home and enjoyed her family & friends.

Shirley was preceded in death by her brothers, Sye & Joe Gill, along with sisters Patricia aged 2, Betty Bunch, and Imogene Trimble. Shirley's sister and best friend, Marilyn (Bob) Minnick of Waynetown survives.

Shirley had stepchildren Andrew (Constance) Wilson of Winterville NC, Teresa (Tom) Cornell of Crawfordsville, Molly (Dave) Campbell of Brownsburg, and Wendy Nattinger of New Castle.

As a young teen, Andrew chose to make his home with Shirley and John. A close bond was quickly formed when Andrew asked Shirley if he could call her "Mom". That bond grew stronger as the years progressed.

Shirley had several nieces and nephews. Kathy Page of Crawfordsville shared a special relationship with Shirley and was Shirley's favorite.

Shirley was a kind, loving person who was respected by all and loved by many.
