Mrs. Shaw was born on April 20, 1929, in Brilliant, AL, the youngest of four children to Ethel Mae Spillers Morgan and Acie Dickerson Fritz Morgan. She always said her life was good, and she doted on by her older siblings. Family was important to her and she loved sharing memories. She lived through the Great Depression and World War II. She loved this country in which she had witnessed so much change throughout her lifetime. She loved reading and kept up with politics, never hesitating to share her beliefs. Her family moved during her high school years to Millport, AL where she loved playing Basketball and being a Cheerleader. She was a member of the Millport Methodist Church all of her life and even though she lived in other places, she always called Millport home.  Mrs. Shaw was generous and caring. She cared for her father, her mother, and her husband through their later years of sickness and counted it a joy to be able to do so. In her later years, she moved into a small, lovely cottage at Traceway Retirement Center in Tupelo, MS where she continued to live independently and happy for the next 14 years. During these years she cultivated a beautiful flower garden, continued to cook, and share her perfection with family and friends. Her pride and joy was her own secret Chocolate Cheesecake recipe. She also began to paint and share her art with others. Mrs. Shaw loved to shop and she loved all things beautiful. Being from the Greatest Generation, she believed in always looking her best. She was bossy and funny, made the best of every situation, and was always positive. She loved to travel and left many memories of her life through her art, her writing, and her photographs. Her heart was always full of love and that love was returned to her by all who knew her. Her faith in God was strong. She believed in the power of prayer and trusted God in all her circumstances. She always lived life to the fullest. Many times she reminded her family to not grieve for her when she left this earth but to rejoice in her well-lived life, confident she was going to a better place.
