Shirley was a homemaker. She had a love for Westerns and Conway Twitty music, "Gunsmoke" and "Hello Darlin'" were her favorites.

Shirley was preceded in death by her parents; a son, Jason Wayne Rainey; an infant son, Darren Galvin; a sister, Ramona (Russell) Reynolds; infant brother, Bobby Russell and her two previous husbands, Darrell Galvin and James Rainey.

There will be no formal visitation, but the family invites you to stop by and sign the guest book anytime before the service.

Pallbearers will be Dawson Rainey, Rick Galvin, Collin Mefford, Greig Moe, Daniel Davis and Jack Rackley.

Honorary pallbearers will be Taegen Rainey, Rose Hayes, Kelsey Roberts, Hale Roberts, Skye Goodfox, Jon Willams, Preston South, all of her great nieces and nephews, Caleb Moe, Danny Harden, Eric Harden, Kerwin, Tammy, Aaron Cole, James Clark, Coal Hill First Responders and Police Department, who never failed to help when she needed it and all the employees of Johnson County Health and Rehab.

A special thank you to Johnson County Health and Rehab for taking extremely good care of our mom and grandma over the last several months, especially Nate Sebo, as she called him her ''handsome nurse''. We know it wasn't easy and you will all forever have a special place in our hearts.
