Shirley was well liked by many; however, she was not afraid to speak her very open mind.  She was very caring to those she loved and would do anything for them.  Shirley enjoyed the simple things in life and stayed connected with friends and always made family her top priority.  She took tremendous joy and pride in her daughters and grandkids and was always available to help when needed.
On February 9, 1985 she married Dale Huff in Sparta, Missouri.

She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Helen and Leonard Gregory, brother, Michael Gregory and son-in-law, Joe Myers.
