Shirley Lenderman

Shirley Ann Lenderman, age 76, of Paragould, went to be with her Lord and Savior on June 2, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Shirley was born on September 5, 1948, to the late Amos Denison and Anna Mae (Baker) Denison in Manila, Arkansas.

Shirley married the love of her life, James Lenderman, on June 27, 1963; she dedicated her life to her marriage and her family. She had an unwavering faith and was a devoted member of the West View Baptist Church in Paragould. Shirley retired from Monroe after nineteen years, where she made many lifelong friends.
