Bryan Valance, pastor of Pleasant Valley Assembly of God, officiating. Shirley was born February 4, 1948 in Clarendon.

She worked in the Klein and Montgomery school system in Special Education for 16 years. She served in several churches across the country as Mickey’s job required them to move pretty often. She also spent two and a half years working for Back Home in San Antonio as an Assistant Manager. Shirley and Mickey lived in 19 homes in the almost 50 years that they had been married. Shirley enjoyed decorating each one of them. She also enjoyed fishing, when she caught the biggest fish. Her greatest joy was in being a mother and a grandmother. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Charlie and Velma Hearn; three brothers, Claude Hearn, Gene Hearn, and Duane Hearn; and a sister, Viola Hitt.
