Shirley possessed a "gift of gab" and a kindred spirit. She formed many lasting relationships and brought laughter to any jKing family gathering. Her big heart and motherly instincts brought many children into her life. Although Shirley was blessed with two beautiful children her own, she always made room for others. The King house was NEVER empty!
