Happy Birthday!!
Shirley Ann Cox Taylor was born on July 14, 1945 in Doctor’s Hospital in Orient, Ohio. Shirley is the second daughter and the fourth child of Robert and Goldie Cox.
Shirley is known as the fun one, always laughing and having fun. But we all know she is a bit shy and hates being in front of a crowd. On the boardwalk, Shirley was called up on stage to participate in some fun thing. She nearly died, but walked away with a nice gift of a broach.
At Marnee and Lee’s wedding Shirley did a great job with her reading. It was nice, clear, and slow enough to understand. So scared or not, she did a great job.
She says she was testing the grapevine so the little kids would be safe – oh dear – that grapevine broke and knocked the stuffings out of Shirley. She was truly knocked out. She was acting goofy most of the day. Daddy was really worried about her as she laid flat out on the bed most of the afternoon.
Shirley was the one that hated doing dishes and usually found other things to do – like carrying in coal. Thank goodness she liked that and I hated that. So I did dishes. It is true, we had too many people visiting on Sundays so the dishes were many. Shirley found all kinds of ways to get out of that chore when that gang showed up.
