Verlin and Shirley Littlejohn raised chickens for 32-plus years on their farm in Westville, Okla. She served on the election board of Precinct 10 for 10 years. There was nothing she couldn't do. Shirley loved to sew, play piano, work outdoors, read and play games with friends and family (she always won); Bingo with friends was her favorite! Her family and many friends will deeply miss her friendship, her laughter, her deep love for her family. She enriched the lives of all she knew and she will be sorely missed. A very special heartfelt thanks to the entire staff of Circle of Life Hospice and the countless others who have comforted Shirley and her family over the past several months. Funeral services will be 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 3, at Roberts and Hart Funeral Home located at 404 S. Williams, Westville, OK 74965.
