Shirley Joan Smith passed away from Alzheimer’s on October 21, 2026 in Elkhorn, Nebraska at Marquis Place where she lived for the last two and a half years. The first years living in their assisted living and the last in Magnolia Trails Memory Care.

Shirley was born in Shambaugh, Iowa on October 10, 1936 to William and Helen Babb. She was the only child and pretty well pampered for that time. She graduated from Clarinda High School, attended Clarinda Junior College and went on to Northwest Missouri State where she studied music. She then moved to Omaha to work at WOW Radio and enjoyed picking out the music for the DJs to play on air. After that, she worked a few different secretarial jobs, the longest at Wise Mack Trucks, where she retired after 30 years.

She was married to Larry Smith in 1959 and again in 1978. He was the only one for her and she waited until he “grew up a little” and married him again. They would only have four years together before he passed.

In 1961, they welcomed son, Steve, into the world and in 1964, daughter, Lori. Shirley lived in the same little house in Millard until she moved to assisted living. She had many helpers in her last few years in that house. Neighbors that kept an eye on her and took great care of her.

Shirley spent a lot of time with friends and family playing poker, keno, and bingo. She loved going to Las Vegas and gambling “just a little”. Luckily she knew when to stop. She enjoyed playing poker so...
