Miss Shirley Tucker was one of the sweetest ladies I've ever known. I got to work with her for a while as the therapist at Forest Oaks. She loved her family and always had a way of making me feel special during my visits.
I worked with Shirley many years ago & loved her so much!

Shirley will always have a special place in my heart! I got to know her while I was the Activity Director at Forrest Oakes. I will never forget how gentle, sweet and kind hearted she was unless it came to her bingo game! She never missed a game. Wednesday was nail day and every Wednesday she was the first one in my office ready for a new color. However, she would rarely get a new color. It would have to be a special occasion that she would change from her light pink. I loved our little conversations every morning when I would stop by her room to bring her the daily news. I am grateful I got to know and love Shirley.
My husband and I got to know Ms. Shirley from volunteering at Forest Oaks. We called her sweet Ms. Shirley! She had such a kind and gentle spirit. She loved playing bingo. She'd get upset if she missed her bingo games. She would always thank us for coming and spending time with the residents. We came to love her dearly and will miss her.
