The Golden age portrait to share today is of beautiful Shirley aged 87 years.
Shirley recently returned from living in Queensland, to start a new chapter in New South Wales.
Shirley was born & raised in Cooranbong, & attended the local school..
Shirley told me that they had no electricity in the house, until she was around 14 years old. Her father fashioned a fork out of some wire, & she used to use it to hold her bread up to the coal fire to make her toast each day.
Shirley has battled Hodgkins Lymphoma for a few years, & her family feel blessed to still have her here.
She has one Daughter. who recently sold their home to buy a bigger house so Shirley could live with them.
She looked so beautiful in the dress I chose for her. She told me she was going to sneak out wearing it, because she didn't want to take it off.
