SHIRLEY SARAH HIND BULL was born January 1st, 1959 on the Blood Reserve, Alberta. Shirley was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She had crippling and debilitating Rheumatoid Arthritis since before 16 years of age and developed other severe health problems, as she got older. Despite this, she served a successful mission for the church in 1984-85 in the Mesa Arizona Mission. She held many and various callings including leadership positions in the church throughout her life. She received a BA in English from Ricks College, Idaho. Talented in art and poetry, she illustrated a children’s book and had poems in the LDS New Era magazine and other publications. While attending Ricks College, Shirley had the opportunity to sing with the college choir in the Mormon Tabernacle during General Conference, which was televised worldwide. Despite her life-long crippling illness she worked voluntarily at the temple for many years and worked at several jobs even to management positions. Shirley never complained about her illnesses and was stanchly independent. Because of her severe health issues, she never married nor had children but her nieces and nephews were her children.
