doing what she loved, spending time with her family and cooking some of her favorite
dishes that the patrons loved to eat. She would feed anyone that told her they were
hungry, she welcomed you with open arms.

playing cards, reading books, doing crossword puzzles ,fussing and cussing and simply
raising the roof! She was a true comedian at heart, always making folks laugh which
brought her so much joy.

good down home cooking that made you want more.

When Shirley McGirlie came out she would always say" Let me tell you some Good S**t,
because I will stomp you like a M*f*king roach". However her bark was bigger than her
bite. Shirley gave her life to Christ and was baptized at John Wesley United Methodist
Church in 2002. She will be deeply missed by the many lives she touched.
