Shirley definitely left many memories from our years at Kmart she was a special lady with an almost photographic memory you could ask about any shipment and she could tell you whatever information you needed. She was loved by us old timers and all those she worked with and was held in very high regard by everyone . I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Rip sweet Shirley.
Sharon, Dickey, and Family. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. Shirley was a wonderful lady who was loved by everyone. I have a lot of wonderful memories from my days at K-Mart with her. Take comfort in knowing your Mom & Dad are together again, and each of you will be in my thoughts and prayers in the coming days.
Shirley was such a sweet kind lady with a heart of gold. I loved working with her at Kmart, she always was willing to take anyone under her wing to help them learn. She will be truly missed.
I love your Parents. They always were so good to the boys growing up, little league and when we all became men. I talked to them a lot when they went to the lake. Always stopped by to say hello and get a some groceries. Both were a reflection of the Lords goodness. Sharon, Dickie and extended family the Fishers are very sorry but we will all laugh and smile again.
Praying for you and your families.
Dickey, I am so sorry to read this. Shirley was a sweet lady. I will always remember her smile. You are in my thoughts.
So sorry to read about your mom. We are thinking of you.
Sincerely,
Peggy Hembree
