Shirley Ann Fannin, 78, passed away on January 17, 2023. She was born on October 1, 1944 to James and Rosetta Williams in Fairview, Kentucky.

She is preceded in death by her parents; son, Steve Fannin; brother, Bill Williams; and her beloved dog, Abbey Ann.
She will be dearly missed by her husband, James Fannin; children, Rowena Sue Bauman, Teresa Wilson, Gary (Chrystal) Fannin; brother, David (Juanita) Williams; best friend and sister, Georgia Swann; 9 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, extended relatives and friends.

Shirley loved life and was always ready for a new adventure. A pistol packin Granny, four wheelin through the mountains of her home state of Kentucky, Blimp, Helicopter, airplane, train, hot air balloon trips, to riding shot gun in a Craig Cat zipping through the marshes of South Carolina. She loved golfing, bingo and music. Bluegrass, blues and gospel were her favorites but she would break into dance if it moved her. She loved raising Monarch butterflies in the summer and fed the birds and all the little critters lucky enough to find her back yard. Her greatest loves, however, were for her children and her grandchildren.

At Shirley's request, family and friends are welcome to attend a brief service will be held on Tuesday, January 24, 2023 at 11:30 am in the chapel at Hillside Cemetery in Randolph, 1700 Hartville Rd.
