Shirley was born on December 23, 1934 in Marlow, OK to Ovie and Eva (Rogers) Adkins. Shirley grew up in Purdy, OK and graduated from high school in Carmen, OK. On June 3, 1955 Shirley was united in marriage to Elford Magner in Galesburg, KS. The first 12 years together, along with their two boys, were spent in Kansas before moving to and settling in Albert Lea in 1968. She was a very active member of the Church of Christ and loved being a wife, mother and homemaker. Nothing pleased her more than to cook and bake for family and friends.

She treasured every minute spent with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Shirley moved to York, NE March 2010 to be closer to her younger grandchildren and spend time with them. Despite her illness she still was very involved both with her family and the church.
