Shirley Mae Greer

Shirley Mae Greer, 86, passed peacefully Monday, October 2, 2023 at her home in Glasgow, Kentucky. Born January 3rd, 1937 in Monrovia, Indiana to the late Faunys D. Meadows and Mary Susan Petitt Meadows. She grew up in Freedom, Kentucky on a farm of tobacco crops and her daddy FD's champion bird dogs after losing her mother to TB in 1943.

Upon graduation from Temple Hill High School in 1955, she married her forever loving husband, William Dean Greer of Etoile, Kentucky and soon started a family raising their only child. Adored as Mrs. Greer by kindergartners of E.B. Terry Elementary, Shirley endearingly worked as a Teacher’s Aide dedicating her creative talents to children for two decades after her own son graduated to college.

Following retirement, she and William enjoyed antiquing and adventuring to favorite destinations of country events, food, and music. Together for 60 years, they built a memory filled home of William’s woodworking, gardening and Shirley's many collectibles including her prized biscuit jars, until widowed in 2015. They were founding members of Glasgow Bible Church and once again are faithfully joined at rest in eternal peace of a new heavenly home.

She is survived by the one son, William Jeffrey Greer of Nashville, Tennessee, and a younger brother, Dean I. Williams in Plainfield, Indiana. In addition to departed parents and beloved William, Shirley was preceded by an oldest brother, James Stanley Meadows of Alvin, Texas and her only sister, Elaine McGuire of Temple Hill, Kentucky.

Funeral services are 11:00 AM Saturday, October 7th at A. F. Crow & Son Funeral Home. Visitation will be Friday from 4:00 PM until 8:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM until time of service at the funeral home with burial in the Glasgow Municipal Cemetery.
