She was stricken with Polio at age 21 and spent many months recovering in the hospital in an iron lung and going through rehabilitative therapy to regain her mobility before starting her family. In her early career, Shirley worked for Montgomery County, Maryland Parks and Planning Commission and held evening sales meetings for neighbors and friends for Stanley Home Products. Her career moved to Capitol Hill where she served on the staff of U.S. Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon, U.S. Congressman Joseph Karth of Minnesota, and as executive secretary and office manager for U.S. Congressman William Natcher of Kentucky. One of her most noteworthy achievements was attending night school for 12 years while working full time on Capitol Hill and raising her family. She completed her undergraduate degree in English from American University at age 50. She retired from Congressman Natcher's office in 1977. During retirement she and her husband moved to "Strawberry Strip" near Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, where she enjoyed gardening, canning, quilting, and hosting friends and family in the beautiful mountains. Shirley and Doug then moved to Flagler Beach, Florida to delight in life near the ocean. She was active in many civic organizations and a member of Flagler Beach United Methodist Church. Shirley will be remembered for her hard work and her positive mental attitude. Her legacy is her steadfast love and support for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren as a caring wife and wonderful mother.
