She mothered six children (Regina, Rita, Allen, Alexander, Anthony and Andre’), helped raise numerous neighborhood and immediate family members’ children, and wed her husband of over 50 years, Mr. Arthur Anglin.

Once the family was settled in Columbus, Shirley took college courses at Columbus Technical Institute (CTI, now known as Columbus State Community College) where she earned an Associate Degree in Social Work.

Shirley was a vibrant soul that loved life and people. She loved to cook, and she gave to everyone that needed help: physically, mentally, morally, and spiritually. She loved The LORD and witnessed and told everyone she encountered about GOD’S goodness, mercy, and grace. Shirley transitioned from labor to reward on August 12, 2021. She was loved by everyone she met, and she will be dearly missed. Farewell good and faithful servant until we meet again.
