Shirley was born November 15, 1949 in Memphis, Texas to Chester and Dorothy Moore. Shirley spent most of her adult life in the restaurant business, whether it was waiting tables or owning the business she kept her customers happy. She never met a stranger and made those around her feel welcome.
Shirley was devoted to her family, especially her grandchildren; she was not what you would call your “average nana!” She was full of energy and participated in the grandchildren’s activities. She encouraged them in a way only she could and was known for speaking her mind.
She loved the Dallas Cowboys, Nascar and her pets.
Shirley was preceded in death by her parents; by her son, Chad Brooks; and by two grandchildren, Lane and Tonni.
She is survived by her three daughters, LeeSa Brooks of Canyon, Shantelle Madison of Cordell, OK and Bobbie Caffee and her husband Jason of White Deer; two sisters Kim Goldsmith and her husband Steve of White Deer and Holly McCleskey and her husband Willie of Clarendon; two brothers, Dallas Moore and his wife Elizabeth of Lelia Lake and Gary Moore and his wife Sheila of Amarillo; by her ex-husband who remained her best friend, Robert Brooks of Elk City, OK; nine grandchildren; five great-grandchildren and many loving nieces and nephews.
