Shirley was born on January 30, 1932, to Otto and Evelyn (Hunt) Cunningham in South Bend, Indiana. She spent most of her childhood in La Porte, Indiana. When she turned 17 her family moved to South Bend. She graduated from Riley High School in the Class of 1952. Art and drawing were her passions throughout high school and her entire adult life.

She enjoyed fishing, drawing, painting, spending time with her family and her pets, attending plays and musicals with her sister, and taking family vacations. She loved watching her grandchildren participate in sports and dance. She was never hesitant to talk "a little smack" with the opposing fans. She supported her team outright. Shirley was a dedicated, loving mother, who would do anything for her children. She always made sure that everyone was taken care of.
