Edgar worked in construction and on ranches while Mildred raised Shirley and three younger sisters.In 1946, Shirley married Willard Dickson in Polson. They lived in Missoula, Ronan, Superior and Polson over the next 30 years. She was a homemaker in the early years, raising their four children: Joyce, Susan, Buzz and Milanna. In the 1960s, she worked at St. Joseph Hospital, then joined Willard and her son as bookkeeper/partner of Skyline Supply, a retail building supply in Polson. Shirley and Willard divorced in 1976, but continued to work together until she retired when that business closed in 1985. In later years, she lived with her youngest daughter in Australia for two years, then in Bozeman helping raise young grandchildren. She loved to travel, especially road trips, and enjoyed going "anywhere," but warm places were the best. Shirley was a survivor. She survived her children's teenage trials, including the loss of her 18-year-old daughter Susan in a car accident. After her father died, she cared for her mother for many years. In her 70s, she survived cancer twice. While recovering from surgery in the Hot Springs Rehabilitation Center, she met Charles Provonost. They married and lived in Hot Springs together for several years until he passed away. She was a member of the Church of Christ. She loved gardening, traveling, pinochle, solitaire, flowers, popcorn, jigsaw puzzles and reading. She gave herself in so many ways to her family, loving them unconditionally and giving advice and assistance that was always greatly appreciated.
