Parents Darrell and Ruby Maulding brought Shirley into the world September 28 ,1951.  Her early years she spent adventuring around the family farm with her older brother Dennis.  She attended Silvercrest School and Silverton High School, graduating in 1969.  In the summer of '69 after graduation she toured Europe for 3 weeks with her aunt and uncle, learning what the world was like.

Shirley married Pete Perrine in October 1969 and began work at Bookkeepers Business Service.  In 1974 son Peter was born and

Shirley enjoyed horseback riding with her friends in her early years, the children's school activities, her dogs, taking the family to Disneyland, Christmas and birthdays with the family,  trips to the coast for clamming, crabbing, fishing and especially picnics.   Shirley loved chocolate!
