Shirley worked for Loral Wigs and made arrangements with Stanford Hospital to give special discounts for women and men of cancer. The wig shop even provided a free hairdresser to cut the wigs to the customers desires. Shirley loved making people feel good about themselves. Later, she found her calling for fashion, as she went to work for the fashion house, Montgomery Place of Cupertino California. Her love for family, clothes, and reading was her life. She was not the life of a party, she was the party! She lived life to the fullest and had a blast!! She never just existed, she lived, loved, and us kids that put her through a roller coaster of emotions. She was not perfect, no one is, but she handled every situation she was put in with a force of love and grace.
