She instilled these same values in her daughters.
    In 1999, Shirley married her soul mate, Verlon Rowland. They settled in Estill County where they spent their retirement enjoying time with family and friends and on their boat fishing the Kentucky River.
    Besides her parents, Shirley was preceded in death by siblings Geraldine Nilles, R.L. Wilson, Sonny Wilson, Jimmy Wilson, Bessie Hudson, and Gladys Downey; and her sister by marriage, Sue Wilson.
    She is survived by loving husband of 25 years, Verlon Rowland; daughters; Lela Hatter (Brent) and Pam Thompson (Bryan); a brother J.W. Wilson; grandchildren, Brandy Hatter, Christy Jones (Donnie); Jacob, Brady, and Zach Thompson; great grandchildren, Parker and Tyler Jones, and Tristan Carlile; as well as special nieces and nephews who were just like her own children.
    To honor Shirley s wishes, cremation was chosen with no services. A celebration of life will be held at a later date with family and friends.
    On behalf of our family, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff at Mercy Health Marcum and Wallace Hospital for the excellent care given to Shirley. We appreciate the kindness and empathy that you have shown us.
