• Story: Honorary Life Membership, 24 Aug 1977, Winston-Salem, Forsyth Co, NC. Mrs. Terry H.

According to a newspaper clipping from an unidentified newspaper, she was the first member of the Church to be so honored, and was surprised with the award at a church homecoming gathering. She had been involved in the Church's work since its founding in 1962, including Women of the Church President, circle leader, and chairperson of every committee. The presentation letter stated "Your loyal attendance has been an inspiration. Your efficient service in the detailed and unglamorous works, such as kitchen and drapes, has motivated us to do better. And your leadership in Women of the Church programs has made our Church stronger. We will certainly miss you." A separate letter from the Women of the Church said that she had been involved starting in Sept 1961 before the church was founded, was a charter member at its founding in June 1963, and was President of the Women of the Church starting Oct 1965. The letter mentioned how, for special programs or on special days, she volunteered to keep the Nursery so others could attend as families, and how she was always ready to visit anyone who was in the hospital or sick at home, staying with them for hours or days if needed.

• Occupation: Drapery Seamstress. While living in Winston-Salem, she worked at Pennix fabric store as a seamstress, specializing in custom draperies.

• Religion: Presbyterian.

• Education. She attended school (approx. 7th grade) in Waxhaw, and got there by having her brother W.T. drive them both. At that time, no driver's license was needed. She graduated from Prospect High School in 1931 (from her diploma).

• Story. Met Charlie while he was working on the construction of Route 200 near Papa's. He would drive to Waxhaw to pick up the mail for the crew, and he would pass the house and see her. He asked a friend to introduce them, and they finally met after a youth meeting at Walkersville. They were married on Christmas evening at 7 pm at the home of Rev. H A Key of Walkerville Presbyterian Church.

• Story. Family moved around as Charlie moved. When they were first married, they lived at Pinetop. In 1940 they were in Powellsville, NC, then in Ahoskie in September 1940 where Shirley started school. They were in Ahoskie when Mama died in 1941, and they moved to Papa's so Athae Mae could take care of Papa. When Papa and Aunt Vee got married, the family moved to Monroe for 2 1/2 years beginning Dec 1946, then to Bonlee to take care of Oppie Jane in Sept 1949. Moved to Mt Vernon Springs in 1954. While there, she helped care for Robert Leslie Lindley when he was born. Moved to Winston-Salem in 1959, and bought a mobile home.

• Story. After Charlie died, she married Terry Hope Laine on 15 Jan 1971. In Sept 1977, they moved the trailer to Providence Rd, Waxhaw, property adjacent to her parents home, where the trailer became the core of a new home. After Terry died, she lived alone in the house with regular visits from her children and their families.

• Story. She had open heart surgery in June 1987. In 1994, she had a coughing fit due to her broncitus. The family convinced her to go to a hospital. While there, she was given a drug to control the coughing, but she was given too much. When the hospital staff realized this, they tried to transfer her to another hospital to get the drug out of her system, but the weather had made the roads icy and they were unable to move her. The excessive drugs in her system caused brain damage, leaving her with significant loss of memory. From that point on she was unable to care for herself. Family and friends took turns staying with her at her home. One day, the friends staying with her discovered her collapsed on the floor in the morning, probably as a result of another set of convulsions. She went to the hospital, and never returned to her home to live. When she left the hospital, she went to Guardian Care nursing home in Monroe, and only returned to her home on occasional visits with family and friends. She was at the nursing home when she died of Chronic Pulmonary Blockage.
