Shirley Faye Crego, daughter of the late John and Hilda (Fickert) Holland, was born on May 21, 1939 in Corning, Arkansas, and passed away on November 21, 2009 in The Maples Health and Rehabilitation Center in Springfield, Missouri following a short illness. She was 70 years and 6 months of age.
Shirley grew up in Corning, Arkansas and moved to St. Louis in the mid 1950’s. She moved to Mtn. Grove, Missouri in 1970, where she made her home until February of this year. She then moved to Springfield, Missouri to live with her twin sister, Anne Mae Alexander and her niece, Dawn Harris.
Shirley was a very crafty person who enjoyed sewing, flower arranging, and tending to her vegetable and flower gardens. She loved animals of all kinds and enjoyed raising peacocks.
She was a loving and caring mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She will be truly missed by those who knew and loved her.
