Shirley was born September 7, 1929, to Clarence and Irene "Jessee" Hurst in Fort Supply, Oklahoma, and passed from this life October 7, 2022, in Enid, Oklahoma.
After moving to Enid at the age of seven, she was raised and educated here, graduating from Enid High School in 1947. Following high school, she began working in retail at JCPenney. Shirley earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in Education from Phillips University and taught at Adams Elementary for 14 years. After receiving her administrator's certification from Oklahoma State University, she served as a principal in Enid Public Schools for an additional 14 years, retiring in 1992.
Shirley married Ervin Lee "Bud" Goertz May 21, 1950, and from this union came one daughter, Janet. Bud passed away in 1981. She and Virgil Lee Tapp were married January 11, 1989. Virgil preceded her in death in 2017.
Shirley was a member of Central Christian Church for over 80 years and served in many capacities, including Board Chairman and elder. She enjoyed sewing and bead work and loved reading a good mystery novel.
She is survived by one daughter, Janet Jones and husband Pierce, of Enid; grandson, Zach Jones and Kristian of Warr Acres; and granddaughter, Katherine Jones of Enid.
