Shirley's poise was phenomenal. I always loved her gratefulness as she was such a lady. My daughter Cayla and I would visit her often; not only that, she was family. My last visit with her was full of laughter and I'm at peace with that. To Theresa [My Sister-In-Law], I love you and am always a phone call away if you and the family needs me. Shirley is resting peacefully. - Love You Always, Lisa J. Mingo
I grew up attending Jackson Memorial Baptist Church and always thought of Ms. Hood as the "nice lady from church." One of my fondest memories was when she traveled to Dallas during the 1990s and I had a chance to have lunch with her at work! I will always cherish that memory. My prayers are with her children and grandchildren as they adjust to a new normal.
