Born in Huffman to Joe and Vernie Davis Woody, she was a homemaker and was of the Baptist faith. Shirley loved to spend time with her family and especially her grandchildren.

Her grandchildren, Colby Leggett, Brenna Leggett, Grace Leggett, Eli Leggett, Samantha Burnett, Taylor Burnett, Gary Hall, Erica Hall and Austin Hitchcock;
