Shirley was born October 30, 1939 in Porter’s Chapel, the daughter of the late Vernon Grooms and Allyne Trice Grooms. She was the wife of John Robert Daniels, and they shared 60 wonderful years together. Shirley was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She worked for General Electric for over 20 years before finally retiring. She had a hard work ethic that she passed on to her children. She loved spending time with her family and imparting her knowledge and experiences to them. It did not matter how she felt, she always had a smile on her face. Shirley also loved her beloved Boston terrier, Baby Girl. A lifelong member of the Porter’s Chapel United Methodist Church, she was a wonderful example of a Christian woman.
