Shirley Easley, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend, peacefully departed this world on December 27th, 2023, in Silver City, New Mexico, to join her heavenly family. She was born on November 9th, 1935, in Englewood, Kansas.

Shirley's legacy is cherished by her five children: Rex (Shirley, affectionately known as "Bad Shirley") Butler, Jim (Karen) Butler, Cydnia (John) Mahl, Brett Butler, and Jamie McCrea. She was a loving presence in the lives of numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and many friends. 

We know that Shirley is happy in heaven with those who preceded her there. Parents, siblings, and 4 of her grandchildren.  

Throughout her life, Shirley dedicated herself to hard work and service. In Silver City, she contributed her talents to the Furniture Gallery, Oakridge Homes, and J&J Signs until her retirement at the remarkable age of 80.

Shirley was a woman of many talents. She expressed her artistic flair through painting and sewing, leaving behind beautiful creations for her loved ones to cherish. Her passion for gardening brought life and color to her surroundings.  In her later years, she curated her charming home with treasures discovered at yard sales, infusing it with warmth and character.

Shirley will be remembered for her kind heart, unwavering strength, and infectious laughter. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
