Shirley’s career began at Southern Bell Telephone in 1955 and she continued to be employed there until her retirement some 40 plus years later. Shirley was also employed by the Jackson Police and Jackson Fire Departments, training others on the 911 call center, among other duties.

World travel was one of her past-times and she enjoyed staying in touch with friends from around the country and the world.
