God gave Shirley a green thumb. You would often find her in her yard at home planting flowers or working in her shrubs. She loved to crochet and filled her most significant role as "Grandma" to her beloved family. Shirley worked for several years in housekeeping at St. Joseph's Hospital (Now Northeast Georgia Lumpkin County). She would later give many years of work to Belk in Gainesville, where she would retire. Shirley was deeply loved and will be missed by her friends and family.
She is survived by her children, Walter (Brenda) Enyart, Alex Enyart, Lona Therriault, Montre Soto (Jimmy Flores), Andrea (Doug) Campbell; step-son Michael (Robyn) Arthurs, sister-in-law, Betty Callis; 16 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren, one great great grandchild, numerous nieces, nephews, friends, and other relatives also survive.
