Shirley was born at home in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee. She was married for 56 years to loving husband, Terry Davis. She worked at Publix Shirt Factory in Columbia, Tennessee and Hyperion Seating in Lewisburg, Tennessee. Shirley lived in Columbia, Tennessee for 66 years then after retirement moved to Foley, Alabama for 10 years to live near the beach that she loved so much. Her family meant everything to her. She loved the beaches on the Gulf and the Great Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, and a fun car ride anywhere. Shirley was the most incredible southern cook. She took a lot of pride in her family, home, and yard. She was so very special to so many people.
