It was my honor and privilege to present to Shirley the Missouri Bluebird Society’s 2016 “True Blue Service” Award. How well-deserved! She was one of our most supportive members. She and Jim were always ready to help MOBS and promote Bluebird Conservation. They have hosted our membership at their farm and in their home, initiated and maintained the Russellville Lions Club Bluebird Trail, have mentored young people in conservation and life, introduced folks to MOBS and purchased memberships for them to join! Always helpful at MOBS conferences, Shirley was a delight to be around–a generous and encouraging soul. Our heart goes out to Jim and to her entire family. Her Bluebird Family will miss this very special lady and we are all grateful to have known her.
Steve Garr,
Missouri Bluebird Society President
