Sometime around 1920, Shirley's grandfather moved the family from Ohio (Mildred was born in Scio) to Casper, Wyoming.
The year before she died, Shirley posed with her daughter, Sheryl, and Sheryl's daughter, Allie, in a gathering of three generations.
Back in 1996, Shirley had posed with her mother, Mildred, also in the group. That made four generations.
Shirley and husband, Jim, took only one cruise: "That was enough for me." Here they are all decked out on deck.
By Christmas 2007, Shirley knew that her prognosis was terminal. But plenty of time for one last pose with her favorite husband.
