5 Comments on “Shirley Wylowdene Bevis Behel”
Knew Shirley and Junior all my life and grew up not far from them on Chisholm Road. Knew his mom and dad as well. Sweet family.
Our deepest sympathy to the children, grandchildren, and friends of Jr. & Shirley. You all are certainly in our prayers for your loss of both of them in such a short period of time. Both were such dedicated individuals to Wilson School and the community. ( “Miss Shirley” was such a great substitute for several years.). May the many good memories sustain you at this time.
My favorite mentor. Loved her and Jr
I’ve literally known Shirley as well as Junior all my life. They were two of the finest people I’ve ever known. All of us in the Jacksonburg Church family will miss them so much. They will always hold a special place in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with Darlene, Trey and all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They are together now, forever.
We like to express our deepest condolences to the Behel family. We we be praying for the family now and in the times to come . Reach out to us if there is anything we can do in anyway..Johnny thought the world of both Junior and Shirley .
