Shirley Claire White Hamilton passed away March 26, 2024 with her daughter and son-in-law by her side. Shirley was born in 1934 in Iowa and resided in Tampa, Florida, New Braunfels, Sun City and Austin, Texas.

Shirley enjoyed life to the fullest until dementia descended and slowly took away her memories, personality and ability to walk. Somehow, even during the rough times, she was able to find peace in music, laughter, nature and those around her. Much love to the Pavilion and Magnolia Hospice caregivers. You know who you are.

Shirley is survived by her daughter, Cathy Rose, son-in-law, Jeff, son, Chuck White, daughter-in-law, Jody, four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Fly free, Mom, you are loved.
