She was planted on Earth to Bloom in Heaven

Shirley Jones was born on February 19th, 1939, in Seaford De. Growing up Shirley lost her mother at a young age and would be raised by her grandmother with her two other siblings Clifford and Dorothy. Shirley worked various jobs but ended up retiring from being a custodian at an elementary school. She loved the children in the school just as much as they loved her. Those who knew her personally knew her love for bingo. Whether it was the weekday or the weekend you could often call her and catch her out with her best friend Henrietta Cannon trying to win some big bingo money as they would call it. 

More than anything in this world Shirley loved her family. She was very family orientated and always helped take care of her grandchildren while buying them things their parents often claimed they didn’t need. One of her favorite things to do with her family became thier annual trip to Orlando,Florida. She loved Florida so much that she aspired to move there and live out the rest of her days. She also enjoyed doing activites with her grandchildren and would always take them to carnivals as well as create bingo games for them to play with her. One of the many things her family loved about her was that she always spoke her mind. She may not always say what you wanted to hear, but it was always what you needed to hear in the moment.

Shirley was a strong woman and showed her strength throughout her whole life. Shirley showed her strength the most after being diagnosed with stage two cancer and beating it to come back stronger than ever. Unfortunately, the cancer came back and progressed to stage four which caused Shirley to end up passing on December 10th, 2022, surrounded by her family. She leaves behind three Children: Linda Jones, Curtis Jarrett, and Lamar Jarrett. She also leaves behind her loving grand and great grandchildren. Out of everything in this world she loved her family the most and would always do anything for them that she could. Although Shirley’s passing was untimely, we will forever know that God gained a new angel and be forever grateful for the time we all got to spend with her.

You can to the family or in memory of Shirley Jones.
