She was born October 18, 1950 in Randolph County to the late Roscoe and Elsie Peters May.

She is also survived by many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; brothers Bill, Hank, and Junior May; sisters Rachel and Susan May; numerous nieces and nephews; and many extended family and friends to mourn her passing.

Services to celebrate Shirley’s life will be held on Saturday, July 30, 2022 at 2:00 PM at Emmanuel Assembly of God in Upper Glade with Rev. Marty Cowger officiating. Friends may join the family for visitation two hours prior to service time at the Church.
