Shirley was born and raised on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. When she was a young girl, the family was forced to flee their home during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Later, Shirley joined the USAF where she met and married the love of her life, Dwight Kelley. He preceded her in death on March 29th, 2002. Following his death, she relocated to Falcon, CO where she lived until the time of her passing.
She is survived by her brother William McFeeley of Oahu; her five children: Debbie, Vicki, Gene, Terri, and Karen along with their spouses. Also surviving are eight grandchildren: Cheri, Thomas, Adam, Austin, Heather, Marie, Tyler, and Weston along with their spouses, and twelve great grandchildren: Briahana, Kailey, Ashley, Michael, Vincent, Melanie, Matthew, Joseph, James, Jacob, Jameson, and Liam.
Shirley enjoyed making pies, bowling, reading, and traveling back home to Oahu to spend time with her extended family. A celebration of her life will take place in Hawaii. She was loved and will be missed by her family and friends.

It has been 2yrs since the passing of my mother. I miss talking to her on the phone. I miss her laughter when she would tell me to kiss those dogs for her and I would say heck no they stink she would laugh and tell me to do it anyways. I miss the good times we shared bowling cards with the ladies and our little shopping trips. I truly hope mom has found peace. I love you mom.

I will truly miss my mother. I was fortunate enough to have alot of fond memories. Life has never been easy but we all pushed on. Life without Dad was devastating for mom her love for him never went away.
I will miss our frequent chats on the phone. She was my mother and I loved her. RIP mom and walk with your forever love in eternity.

We will truly miss the unique personality that was within mom. Loving, kind, stubborn, outspoken, giving, friendly, stern and complicated are all words that describe how we remember her to be. We will miss having dinner together, shopping at a snail's pace, driving at a snail's pace, sharing memories, and watching movies together. We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to provide love and care in her passing years and are grateful to our good Lord for allowing her to pass, releasing her from the life on earth that brought so much discomfort. We love you and we miss you mom!
