Early Life: Shirley was born September 10, 1934, to Samuel Woolley and Ada Myrle Pocock Clark.
Life's Work/Service/Interests: She met Richard D McKinnon at the freshman dance at BYU, fell in love and were sealed together in the Salt Lake Temple. Their posterity includes “heaven’s best” five children, 25 grandchildren and 20.5 great-grandchildren. Shirley lived as if Christ were at her side. She welcomed her children, grandchildren and many “adopted” family members into her home with love, a listening ear, and always a large platter of Caramel Squares. She taught by example. Her many strengths live on in her children: a flair for finding the beauty in all things; complete with music, drama and creativity; a thirst for knowledge and natural desire to care for others; a sense of humor and campy show tunes bring peace, joy and validation to all; a mom incarnate — practically perfect in every way. She makes a difference. Shirley Clark McKinnon — singer, beauty queen, honorary 2nd Lieutenant, teacher, leader, mother and grandmother went home September 22, 2015. She was 81 years old.
Family Message: "Shirley shared her love of learning with all of us. She took every natural opportunity to teach gospel principles with simple things. Her life, and therefore our lives are faith based. We love her very much and miss her kind light."
