I only met Shirley a few times, but even so she was a very warm, friendly and welcoming person. Reading the other messages here, it seems she was all this and so much more to many.

It was an Open University connection in the beginning of course - that place certainly changed lives. We both pitched up at the Arts Faculty just as the second generation of courses was being pumped out, where we shared an office for five years or so from 1985. I was always in awe of how very good Shirley was at project management. Our relationship(s) didn't end when I left the university. By now she and Ruth were a couple. We still went walking, and drinking. Even when I moved to Dorset they still came by on occasion, with motor home, to see what birds might be hiding in the marshes round Poole. Many, many happy times.

Shirley, you will be fondly remembered and forever missed. What fun you brought to the play readings - I used to giggle the whole way home, and for days after.

I knew Shirley for over forty years, first at the OU and then through her fantastic work for Sound News, the MK talking newspaper. A wonderful friend and colleague.

GAS you will be sorely missed always, and especially so on Christmas Day when your presence made the day extra special for our family! Your fun and sometimes eccentric personality always put a smile on our faces, and every family gathering was made better by your attendance. Love always xxxx

Shirley was a truly remarkable person. She enriched our lives in so many ways. She was humorous, mischievous,intelligent and entertaining, and enlivened many occasions. She was kind ,caring and considerate, and always saw the best in everyone and everything. Shirley was so generous, not just with material matters, but in spirit. As her sister I was blessed to have had her in my life for 73 years, but it was not long enough: she will be sorely missed.

I volunteered in Shirley's team at SoundNews for the last 10 years or so. I couldn't have wished for a more kind and supportive team leader.

Shirley was a kind and generous colleague who was always willing to share her great knowledge and help you in anyway she could. She also had a great sense of humour and never failed to make me smile and laugh, even in the most of stressful of times.

I first knew Shirley as a colleague at the OU, but subsequently as a friend, with whom I had many an interesting chat, especially about birds. A lovely lady, whom I'll miss.

When Shirley was in the room, either in a work meeting or socially, it was always a better occasion for her being there. A brilliant colleague and friend; we will miss her.

Gill

I will never forget Shirley - her often surreal sense of humour, her wisdom, kindness and generosity. She was truly a ‘one off’’ and I feel grateful to have had her as a friend and neighbour. She was the life and soul of our little social gatherings and she had a very special bond with my darling John e.g. “I’ll have what he’s having!” She was very special to me and helped me through some hard times - she always put others’ needs first. I miss her.

For Shirley who launched bears from kites with us, who wrote delightfully witty poems on CoSy, whose jocular vein ran rich and deep, who had a dachshund, Dackyl, with a duelling scar, and whose friendship meant so much.
