Born on March 20, 1950 to parents Opal and Oakley Anderson. Shirley was born and raised in Saratoga, Wyoming and like any true Wyoming native, she went to the University of Wyoming for college. She was a cheerleader, in a sorority, and a downhill ski racer in her youth.
Shirley married Mike Tysor and had two children, Thomas Tysor and Barbara Tysor. She has moved more times than one can count and was always on an adventure as she owned many businesses including insurance, real estate and a home goods store.
Many friends and family can attest Shirley did not know a stranger, and if she did she would invite them to dinner and most likely to any family gathering/holiday. She was sassy, independent, stubborn, kind, thoughtful, and overall loving. So entirely loving you would never leave her without getting told how much she loved you, even if it was your first time meeting her! She would always lend an ear for anyone needing to talk, and would never make you feel rushed no matter what was going on. Her shoulder was always there to cry on and you could count on her to react with overwhelming emotion to any good news you told her. She was known for her facial expressions and her laugher will be missed beyond compare.
Shirley loved all holidays but especially Christmas, she has been known to be recently called Nanaclaus. She held a Christmas open house in almost every house she lived in with grandiose decorations and always open arms for anyone in need.
Shirley is survived by her husband John Robert’s, sons Thomas Tysor and Noah Robert’s, daughter Barbara Corey, son in law Charles Corey, daughter in law Angie Tysor, granddaughters Karli McMurphy and husband Dalton, Daisie Tysor and husband Ethan, and Krista Pletcher and husband Slade, and great grandson Bohdi McMurphy.
Shirley wished to have a small memorial with close family while her ashes are spread over the Snowy Mountain Range. The last thing Shirley said was she hopes everyone knows how much she loved them, to know her was to love her but even more so to be loved by her. She is missed beyond measure and we hope everyone can love just a fraction of how much she did.
