Shirley Isabelle Brown passed away at 11:40 a.m. on November 14, 2019, at the Wyoming Medical Center in Casper, Wyoming, from complications of pneumonia. Her family members were beside her. She'd been in the hospital for five days prior to passing. Cremation arrangements have been made at Newcomer Funeral Home and a Celebration of Life is currently being planned privately by the family and will be announced at a later date.
Shirley was born in Richmond, Indiana, to Glen and Mary Nester on August 11, 1949. She spent most of her life in Indiana, but moved to Casper in 1999. Her parents are deceased, as are her two brothers: William and Charles Nester of Indiana. All four of her children are surviving: Billy Brown of Casper, Anita Nye of Casper, Alva Brown of Indiana, and Betty Grissom of Casper. She had five surviving grandchildren: Candace Tholl of Casper, Alexandrea Nye of Casper, Jacob Brown of Indiana, Christian Brown of Casper, and Ely Trimmer of Casper. Also surviving are two great-grandchildren: Ireland Clark and Korbyn Tholl of Casper.
Many people loved her and considered her family. This was largely due to her compassionate, loving heart. She was a warrior from the womb who fiercely loved the people in her life. She showed them kindness and mercy. She was a terrific listener as well, which attracted people to her.
