Bill and Shirley were married in Kansas City on December 30, 1949. Much of her life was devoted to raising their five sons. Family was always the highest of importance to Shirley. Whether it was attending family gatherings or hosting family at her house in Overland Park, Shirley always made others feel cherished. Many late nights were spent in the famous "Scott conversations", resulting in plenty of laughter, tears and hoarse voices.

Shirley passed away on December 1st, following a long battle with Alzheimers.
