Shirley was such a special lady. So gracious and caring. I have so many lovely memories of time spent with her and her family when I attended East Central HS as an exchange student to catching up with her over the years whenever I visited Tulsa. From visits in her home with her , her husband Bill and daughter Patti to barber shop practices to see her husband singing. I appreciated her wise loving influence in my life.
As I think of Shirley Dalton, I think of a sweet, gracious women. Quiet, but very strong. Here faith was strong. Just her presence reflected Christ. She was my wife’s Sunday School teacher when we first came to Tulsa and Garnett Road Baptist Church. She had beautiful red hair that made an extra awareness to me as my wife, mother, and aunts had the same color. Shirley – a beautiful women both inside and out.
