Her family includes two sisters, Marilyn Dunn, Provo; Ruth Reno, Casper; and one brother, the late Kent Oswald.

She is a beloved grandmother of 37 and great grandmother to 18 of "The most handsome, beautiful and special grandchildren in the world!" Shirley's life was dedicated to her family and the Lord. There was nothing she enjoyed more than having her children and grandchildren surround her and have fun together. She was a master cook, and entertainer extraordinaire, who has blessed many lives with her talents. She was the recipient of the Lamda Delta Sigma "Elect Lady Award", and honored by the Bountiful Stake Young Women with the "Woman Worthy of Imitation Award".
