Shirley will always be family to me and has made such a difference in all of our lives. This is a tribute to the Legacy of Shirley Wood:
Sometime when you think her going
Wouldn't leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow this simple direction,
And see how it touches your soul.
Take a book filled with her accomplishments,
Recall any one that you wish,
Realize the passion it required,
And treasure how much she is missed.
You may read on as you wish,
And flip through the pages galore,
But stop . . . and reflect just a minute,
Ames, and we, will never be the same as before.

Shirley is a special friend -- and unforgettable legend.

My wife Pay and I will be forever grateful for the decades of friendship and support that Shirley (and elaine) offered to my sister, Liz beck. And they became friends of ours also, What a pleasure to spend time with Shirley. At one point, when Liz and Pat and I were headed to the Crystal Bridge Museum in Arkansas, we had a wonderful coffee break with Shirley's sister-- equally warm and friendly! Shirley is unforgettable!

Shirley will forever be remembered. She was such a great leader and did so much for creating a Welcoming place to work. I will always remember her firm but just guidance and her warm smile. I also will remember her competitiveness that came out when she was attending women’s basketball games. Priceless ! I thank God for the opportunity to know and work with her and Elaine \ud83d\udc97

Shirley was a special part of our extended family. Some of my earliest memories include Shirley joining us for holiday meals as well as her and I digging out honeysuckle bushes when they moved out to the property on Riverside Road.
Her warm smile, easy going disposition and friendship will be greatly missed.

A terrific colleague…could always be depended on for good judgement — patient, wise and witty. She commanded respect in an environment that didn’t always expect a woman to pave the way.
