Shirley was born in Perryton to Margaret and Emil Hearn. She graduated from Perryton High School and attended West Texas State College. Shirley worked for First National Bank in Wheeler. After moving to Amarillo in 1974, she worked as a receptionist at Dr. Posey's dermatology office. She then was assistant manager at Wellington Manor Apartments, where she met her husband, John. They were married on October 16, 1982 in Amarillo.
Shirley loved horses when she was growing up, and competed in barrel racing. She was a competitive card player. To say that she loved going to garage sales was an understatement. She was known to many as the "garage sale goddess". Shirley enjoyed sports, and closely followed her grandson, Jace's sporting events. She and John enjoyed square dancing and were in the River Road Curly Q's. They also enjoyed spending winters in her RV in south Texas.
She is survived by her husband, John Kyle; her daughter, Sally Fincher and husband Jimmy of Amarillo, and their son, Jace Fincher and fiancé Jordan Walker; two sons, David Brown and wife Julia of Cedar
Park, and Rick Kyle of Farmington, NM; four grandchildren; and five great grandchildren.
