Survivors include her sister, Ramona Eley; children, Shauna Armstrong and Sherman Armstrong, Jr.; her stepdaughters Connie (Shane) Hawkins and Mindy (Daryl) Maronic; nieces, Sheila (Elie) Shammas and Sharon Fraze; her grandchildren, Dustin Armstrong, Danielle Armstrong, Ashley Hodgini, Katie (Gary) Nelson, Derek Armstrong, and Kyle Armstrong; and five great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Jack McKee; and her sons, Sheldon Armstrong and Sherwin Armstrong. According to Shirley's wishes, there will be no services or visitation. She will be laid to rest at Fountain Park Cemetery, Winchester. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in her honor to St. Jude Children's Hospital.
