Above all, Shirley will be remembered for her feisty character, independent spirit, and for living life unapologetically on her own terms. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. She leaves behind a loving family to continue walking down the path of life in her absence; two daughters, Stephanie Cumella and her husband Stephen of Jacksonville, Florida; Stacy Raines and her husband William of Oxford, Mississippi; two grandchildren, Matthew Cumella of Pelham, Alabama; and Sarah Armstrong and her husband Tyler of Jacksonville, Florida; one great grandchild, Lillian Armstrong of Jacksonville, Florida.
