Shirley was born on August 1st, 1942 to John and Helen Price in Albion, Iowa. She would receive her education through the Albion School System and graduate with the class of 1960. She would go on to meet a handsome young man by the name of Richard Paul and the two would soon be married. The couple raised three children in their house in rural Laurel. Shirley was a wonderful cook and used that ability by working as the head chef at the Sears building in California for six years.
