Shirley Hedrick

Shirley was born near Ekalaka, Montana to Thorvald and Juanita Butler Senrud. She attended school in Ekalaka, as did her two older brothers, two older sisters and two younger sisters.

She married Richard Menuey in Ekalaka in 1950, and they soon made their home in Powell, Wyoming. To this union, six children were born. Shirley and Richard were married 30 beautiful, fun filled years with many adventures raising their children and loving life to its fullest. Years passed, and Richard discovered he had cancer. With his loved ones by his side, Richard lost a hard fought battle on October 1, 1981.

Shirley and the children continued on living life to its fullest and on November 16, 1984 Shirley met and married Jame L. Hendrick. Within a few years, they moved to Tucson, Arizona. The life there was much different than what she was use to, but it was a life she truly loved. She was a State Farm Insurance Agent for years. She eventually decided to help Jim pursue his music career and it soared. After 34 fun, beautiful years, Jim was diagnosed with cancer and lost his battle on September 12, 2017. Celebration of living was held for Jim, June 16, 2018.

Shirley was able to spend much time with all of her children and friends catching up. Just before leaving to head home to Arizona, Shirley was in a tragic accident and was hospitalized. Her children were at her side for months, loving their mother day in and day out and keeping positive emotions going daily. Thanks to all for the prayers and kindness at that time, as it was very hard on all family and friends.
