Raised on a small farm in Indiana, Shirley started piano lessons in second grade, went on to study piano and organ at the local state university, then moved west to continue piano studies at Greeley for several years.  Like most well-trained musicians, she eventually had to get a real job which for her was city mail delivery, thereby meeting her husband Larry at the USPS in Longmont where they both worked. Twenty years delivering mail was followed by 5 years for St. Vrain Schools accompanying various choirs.  At age 66 she started harp lessons.  She loves her cats and her chickens, and she's an avid baker.  Her favorite job ever has been playing for Central since 2009.
