Shirley Ann Doty, Terre Haute, IN — The community is mourning the loss of Shirley Ann Doty, who passed away on July 20, 2024. Born on May 18, 1950, Shirley was a cherished mother, friend, and community member, remembered for her kindness and caring nature.
Her son, James M Doty, shared a heartfelt message on Facebook, expressing his love for his mother. "As I sat trying to think of the words I’d whisper in my mother’s ear the other day to express my love for her, I realized I hadn’t the vocabulary needed to express what a kind and caring person she was," he wrote. "She touched many hearts through her time, some of which was before she even created mine. There’s never enough words to express the love you have for such a great person ‘Mother,’ but those that knew her already know, so I’ll just leave it at that. ‘Shirley Ann Doty May 18, 1950 – July 20th, 2024.’"
The community has rallied around the Doty family, sharing their condolences and memories on Facebook. Autumn Gill expressed her sympathy, writing, "I’m sorry for your loss." Christie Boston Bradley added, "Love ya, cousin." Laura Flood offered comfort, saying, "She heard every word you whispered, and she knew exactly what you meant. I love you, bubba."
A fundraiser organized by Britany Haas has been set up to honor Shirley’s final wish of cremation. The fundraiser has raised $455 out of a $1,040 goal, with contributions from donors such as Tre Edwards, Shari Pomeroy, and Tabbitha Dixon. Britany Haas explained the situation, stating, "We would like to be able to go by her wishes of cremation, but unfortunately there’s no kind of insurance or anything that will cover the cost."
Shirley’s memory will live on through the love she shared and the joy she brought to everyone around her. Her family and friends will cherish the moments they had with her, finding comfort in the legacy she left behind.
