She grew up on the west side on Hawley St. attending Madison High School. Growing up, she also attended Frankin High School where she did not graduate but did attend Continental School of Beauty where she learned that doing hair was something she loved to do. Franklin High School is where she met her long time significant other the late Robert Orr in the year 1975. They settled down and had five kids. Cassandra, Latisha, Robert Jr., Randy and Dominique. Shirley realized that her life was not complete and adopted a 6th child Nautika in 2000. Shirley worked numerous jobs, including doing hair for family and friends. Shirley discovered that she would change her lifestyle and found she had a passion for taking care of kids, so she provided daycare services for those in need of it. She always welcomed family and friends into her home, in which you would always feel loved. She would give you the best advice and the communication was always real. She would give you food, a place to stay and money if need be. Shirley had a heart of gold and wore it proudly.
