“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.”— 1 Corinthians 13:4
Shirley Trotter, age 82, passed away on December 24, 2025. She was a loving mother and a devoted woman of God—never loud, but always gentle. Shirley’s quiet strength, grace, and faith were felt by all who knew her. She lived with humility and compassion, offering kindness through her actions and love through her presence. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
