She graduated from Rogers High School in 1957; from Temple Junior College with an Associate Degree in Administration; and from The American Technological Institute with a degree in Computer Programming. Shirlyene accepted a position in the business office of Central Counties MHMR where she worked for over 20 years, retiring to accompany her husband who accepted a position with the US Army in Germany as a Counseling Psychologist.

Shirlyene married Darrold J. Huntley in Temple on January 10, 1959 and the couple had three children, including a daughter who was stillborn in Germany in 1960. Shirlyene was a member of Mountain View Baptist Church in Harker Heights. She was a faithful, loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

The family would like to thank everyone, friends, relatives and the health professionals who took care of Shirlyene during this trying time in her life; we thank them for their acts of kindness and especially for their faithfulness and their prayers.

Shirlyene Huntley was a complete Christian lady through and through. She did not think like a man, she did not talk like a man, she did not walk like a man, and she did not dress like a man, she was a complete Christian lady!
