Shirley was a strong and independent woman who moved to Prescott in 1967 with her two sons, from Long Beach, California. She was loved by all who met her and touched the lives of many. She was a protector, a mentor and an inspiration to her family. Shirley worked at Mile High Distributors and then moved to the Prescott Fire Department as the Executive Secretary for the Fire Chief. She served four chiefs prior to her retirement in 1996.

Through her love of hiking and membership in the Prescott Hiking Club, she met her husband, Richard Trevallee. They enjoyed hiking and camping throughout the southwestern United States. She never lost her love for the mountains, even though she could no longer hike.
