Shirley Kay Atkinson, 76, of Spencer, West Virginia died September 5, 2023 at Roane General Hospital (Long Term) after an extended illness.
Those who knew and loved her can say that she was a hard worker with a great work ethic. In her early years she was passionate about fishing, while later in life she greatly enjoyed playing Bingo, gambling, and yard sales before succumbing to her physical decline.
She was the daughter of the late Raymond Atkinson and Barcelene Carpenter Atkinson. She was also preceded in death by a sister Janet.
She is survived by brothers Ralph Carpenter, Ray Atkinson, Ronnie Atkinson, and Roger Atkinson, and her sister Penny Webb. She had one daughter, Shawna Nichols, a granddaughter, Janet (Charleston), and a great-grandson, Caden (Charleston),
Her suffering is over; she is gone from us but will never be forgotten.
Per Shirley's request, there will be no visitation or service and her request for cremation has been honored.
