Shirley had a wonderful childhood in Kanab with the red rock cliffs and the Kiabab Forest in the summertime. Her family moved to Salem, Utah when she was 14 years old and lived at the top of the hill just East of the Salem Pond, another great place to enjoy the outdoors. When she was 16, she met the love of her life, Chester Stone, who had just returned from serving in the Navy for four years. She has always had a beautiful singing voice, performing with her sister for parties, weddings and funerals all her growing up years and with Chester’s dance band from the time she was 17. They were married in 1950 and blessed with four children. Shirley is widely known for her ability to brighten up any room with her smile, happy comments and singing or giggles!
