Betty Joyce Shirley

December 17, 1950 - March 29, 2022

Betty J. Shirley, born December 17, 1950, went home to be with her Lord on Tuesday, March 29, 2022, at her home surrounded by family after a long courageous battle with ovarian cancer. Betty was a wonderful wife of 54 years, a dear mother, sister and Nana to her precious grandchildren. After many career accomplishments, she retired from the Jefferson County Court House to spend time with her family. Betty loved camping, reading books, she was a very competitive bowler and card shark with her family and friends. Her biggest joy in life was spending time with family, especially her three grandchildren. She was an amazing cook; she shared her legendary meatloaf and chicken ‘n dressing with many friends and family throughout the years. Betty was preceded in death by her parents, Donald Wilton Hogue, Sr. and Margaret (Odom) Hogue and her sister Debra Berland. Betty is survived by her husband and best friend of 54 years, Ray Shirley, son: Bryan (Angie) Shirley, daughter: Bridget (John) Attaya. Grandchildren: Jacob (Brittany) Shirley, Lyla Raye Attaya and Quinn Elliott Attaya. Brother: Donnie (Vicki) Hogue, Sisters: Gloria (Orville) Canoles and Nancy Northcutt, and a host of nieces, nephews and wonderful friends. In addition to flowers, the family welcomes contributions made to the Laura Crandall Brown Foundation in Betty’s memory.
