Shirley Lucille Beggs

Shirley Lucille Beggs was born March 13, 1922, in Detroit, Mich., to Bertrand and Alyss Conroy. She was called home into God's presence peacefully on Dec. 17, 2011. "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, Rejoice!" Philippians 4:4 (Weymouth translation).

Since the age of 15 when Shirley accepted the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ, she has faithfully followed her Lord, first as a nurse, then as a missionary for 25 years in Angola, Africa, then a pastor's wife in California for 25 years - and for more than 60 years a loving wife to Clifford and mother to Alan, Maureen and Kathy. Shirley's sparkle made her friends, even at 89 years of age, and her wit enlivened all our lives.

She is survived by her two sisters, Patricia and MaryLou; her daughters Maureen and Kathy; and five grandchildren.

We will truly miss her, but we know she is happy now with Clifford and with her son, Alan.
