Shirley Jean Vickers, 87, of Stamps, Arkansas passed away on October 3, 2023. She was born on September 27, 1936, to Frank and Edith McCrary in Doddridge, Arkansas. Serving the school system for 28 years in the cafeteria surrounded by children, her love of cooking and raising her children came natural. She loved to cook for all her family and to spend time with them. Every grandchild was given a nickname. Shirley was a member of Calvary Baptist Church. In her pastime, you would find her television tuned to Fox News, especially when Jessie Watter's was on.
