Later, she devoted herself to a long and fulfilling career at Pillsbury, where she worked as a line worker for 30 years before retiring.

In her personal life, Shirley cherished her 63 years of marriage to Carl L. Fox until his passing in 2014. Together, they built a warm and loving home that became a sanctuary for their family.

In her earlier years she was an avid bowler, participating in local leagues and fostering lasting friendships through the sport. Additionally, she enjoyed gardening and spending time at the senior center.

In her later years, Shirley delighted in the simple pleasures of life, often found playing cards or working on puzzles that brought her joy and a sense of accomplishment.
