Shirley Louis Smith was born on May 14, 1929 to Francis and Frances (Kunkle) Markey. She attended and graduated from Marshalltown St. Mary’s Catholic High School.

After college she served her entire life helping others in the Marshalltown community as a nurse. Shirley was blessed with nine children, five being daughters and four sons in that order. Between family and her community it was apparent Shirley was a loving and caring person putting others before herself.
