Mrs. Figley passed away Thursday, June 12, 2025, at her home.
She was born March 25, 1941, at Muskegon, Michigan, to Worthington and Marie Rose Brown. Shirley graduated from Creston High School, Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1958. On August 15, 1958, she was married at Norfolk, Virginia, to Calvin K. Figley, II, who preceded her in death on December 31, 1980. In 1971 she moved with her husband to Salmon, Idaho to raise her four children. She retired from Valley Ranch Supply Store in 2002, where she worked as a bookkeeper and relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada to care for her mother. Mrs. Figley devoted her time to her family and her whole self to her Church. She gave birth to five children and was a foster parent to Scott, Merritt, Glorianne and Marty. Her fondest memories were her wedding day, where she watched football on Calvin’s lap and had dinner with Millie and Ken, the best man and maid of honor. Her hobbies included bowling, gardening, poker night, penny ante and later video poker. She enjoyed traveling and especially seeing the Foothills of the Bitter Root Mountains, Darby, Montana and Loss Trail Pass. Her greatest inspiration was her grandmother, Edna Mae Rose, who brought God into her life. Mrs. Figley was a devout Episcopalian. “I want my family to remember me for….My Love, everything was always done with so much love from God. If I could live my life over again I would not change a thing!”
She is survived by three children, Calvin K. (Ken) Figley, III and wife, Kara Sue, Las Vegas, Nevada, Michelle S. Mapes and husband, Benjamin, West Plains and Christopher R. Figley and wife, Chrissy, Merkel, Texas; three special children, Garry Dean Black, Brett Williams and Chelsea Johnson; thirteen grandchildren; twenty-eight great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
Her parents, husband, two sons, Jon Andrew and Thomas Joseph Figley, one grandson, Anton Christopher Figley and two brothers Worthington (Roy) Brown and William R. (Bill) Cober, preceded her in death.
