Shirley was born and raised in Yale, IA to Dewey (Dude) and Edna (Clouse) LaHue of Yale on June 12th, 1926. She was second of 4 children, 2 sisters, Colleen and Norma and a brother Pierre. Growing up she and her two younger sisters, Norma and Colleen, sang in the Yale Church of Christ and also for funerals and weddings. She attended the Community Church of Christ in Des Moines, IA in her later years. After graduating from the Yale High School, Shirley went to work for Stotts drug store in Yale for the next 20 years filling prescriptions and serving up her best loved sweet ice-cream. In 1947 she was united in marriage to Hershel E. Renfrow who preceded her in death on July 22, 1975, after 25 years of marriage. To this union was born a daughter, Vicki. After Hershels death, Shirley moved to perry where she worked at Don's TV and Appliances, Clarks Furniture Store, and the Perry Service Center. These positions suited her well as she was always happy, outgoing, and good with people as she definitely had a gift to gab. As much as she loved working, her main love was her 3 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren, but she also liked to read, do crossword puzzles (as she said it challenged the mind) and liked to listen to gospel and country music. Shirley was also a very good cook and baker. The family always looked forward to her dressing at the holidays as well as her cranberry salad and endless desserts. Her favorite with the grandkids was the pumpkin bread. Shirley is preceded in death by her parents, husband, sisters Colleen Travis, Norma Bosier McComber, and her brother Pierre LaHue. Survivors include her daughter, Vicki Larsen of West Des Moines, IA, 3 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
