She was born in Biddeford, Maine, and was a graduate of Thornton Academy in 1967. She also attended the University of Southern Maine in Portland. Shirley was a lover of unique antiques which was her hobby and passion.
You would often find her cultivating her yard sale and looking for unique interesting pieces which earned her the nickname of the “yard sale lady.”
