Stories of Joy: Resident of the Month

If you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Shirley, you already what a joy she is to be around. Her warm smile and sparkling eyes-especially when she talks about her beloved family-light up the room.

Shirley was born in Logan, Ohio and grew up with two older brothers. She married her high school sweetheart, Roger, and together they built a beautiful life with their children. They raised three sons

who became the center of her world, and now, Shirley delights in the joy of four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Smiling faces of her loved ones fill her apartment, each one with a joyful smile and a treasured memory.

After spending some time in California, Shirley settled in Huntsville in 1953, where she’s made her home ever since. Shirley has now been a part of the Madison at the Range family for two years, and we are so lucky to have her! She brings light, love, and warmth to our community. She has a sweet cat named Molly and enjoys the simple pleasures of life: cooking, gardening, tending to flowers, bird watching and cheering on her beloved Ohio State Football Team. O-H!

What stands out about Shirley is the way she talks about her life-with deep love and gratitude. She speaks so tenderly about her family and the memories of raising her children. Her strength, grace, and joyful spirit are an inspiration to all of us.

Shirley, thank you for being such a special part of our community. We love you and the positivity you bring to our community!
