Shirley was born February 5, 1936 the daughter of the late Raymond and Violet (Coram) Peavler.

She is also survived by her special friend, Karen Bernard who was always a willing copilot.

All of her grandchildren had taken a bath in a cooler during the Labor Day family get togethers. She also was grandma to the kids she hauled on the Novinger School Bus for thirty-four years. Shirley was also a cook at the school and she was the best hired hand her husband Dick ever had. In her later years the great grand kids thought she was the Best Burnout Queen ever and all they had to do was ask. Shirley always took her grand kids out to look at Christmas lights, and there was always an adventure to be had on that night.

Shirley will be remembered for her love of Diet Coke and cheese biscuits from McDonalds and for never meeting a stranger.
