Shirley was ''one of a kind,'' a true original. She was married for over 65 years to Stan Goss. She was his not-so-silent partner in family and business. She was known for her unique style, her words of wisdom, and her gift for playing the piano.

She loved her Lord and spent hours reading, praying, and listening to ministers.

She was a loyal member in several churches over the years including, Nuuana Baptist Church in Honolulu, 2nd Baptist Church in Conway, Trinity Faith Tabernacle in Greenbrier, and Cove Chapel Baptist in Springfield.

She was a generous contributor to many other churches, evangelists, missionaries, and other causes.

She is survived by her daughters, Melissa and Melanie; son, Michael; 11 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Linda (Havens) Smith and many other friends and relatives that admired and respected her.
