Shirley Mallory passed away surrounded by those who loved her on July 6, 2026. Born Shirley Campbell, she was the first-born child of farmers in rural El Dorado Springs, Missouri, on October 29, 1932.

Shirley married Laverne “Ray” Mallory, and together they had four children: Linda (James) Workman, Jerry (Barb) Mallory, Sharon (Mike) Weaver, and Diana (Bob) Rawson; nine grandchildren; and too many great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren to count.

Despite failing eyesight, she never stopped sending her greats handwritten cards and dollars at every birthday and holiday.

Though her sweet and spicy nature will be greatly missed by many, she will be welcomed into Heaven by her husband Ray Mallory, her parents, Dennis and Lola Campbell; her brother, Dean Campbell; her daughter, Sharon Weaver; and two sons-in-law, Mike Weaver and James Workman.

Memorials in Shirley’s name can be made to Riverview Estates, 202 S. Washington St., Marquette, KS 67464.
