Shirley Ann Craddock Magliano Massey

In Loving Memory of Shirley Ann Craddock Magliano Massey

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Shirley Ann Craddock Magliano Massey who left us peacefully on November 17, 2024, at the age of 89 at Bowers Hospice House, Beckley. Surrounded by love, Shirley departed this world the same way she lived in it: with grace, dignity, and a heart full of love. 

Born February 5, 1935, in Maple Fork, Shirley lived a life that spanned generations. She was a beloved Christian, spouse, parent, grandparent, sister, aunt, cousin, great grandparent, and friend. Shirley was light to all who were fortunate enough to know her. 

Shirley will always be remembered for her kindness, infectious laugh, and sense of humor, but most of all for her dedication and love for her Savior Jesus Christ. Shirley was a member of Salem Road Freewill Baptist Church, Fayetteville, for over 30 years. 

Shirley is preceded in death by her father and mother, Charles Anderson Craddock and Grace Maynor- Craddock; her siblings, Bill Craddock, Gene Craddock, Jack Craddock, Tommy Craddock, Ross Craddock, Faye Hurd, Toots Cadle, Ruby Tyree, Mozella Bolen, Betty O'Neal, Yvonne Cole; her first husband, Tony Magliano; second husband, Darrell Massey; and stepdaughter, Judy Massey Rose, who were all lined up to welcome her with open arms. 

Shirley is survived by her sons, John  (Sharon) Magliano of Florida, Mark Magliano of Fayetteville who she lived with, daughter, Terry (Tom) Bonifacio of Florida; stepdaughter, Shirley (Scott) Dennler of Fayetteville; grandchildren, Brandon (Megan) Magliano, Amanda (Josh) Connor, Brett (Rosie) Magliano, Julio (Cassie) Bonifacio, Chris (Lee) Poore, Coty (Carolyn) Dennler, Tyler Dennler, Amanda Wheeler, Dale Rose; numerous great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and countless friends whose lives she touched. 

The family would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the family members and friends who provided love, care, and support to Shirley during her time of need. Your kindness, dedication, and compassion have been a true testament to the strength of family bonds. Thank you for being there, for your time and energy, and for the many ways you honored and uplifted Shirley. A special thank you to the Bowers Hospice House staff of Beckley, specifically, Jennifer and Cornflake (Mandy), Carrie, Stephanie, and Paris. 

A celebration of Shirley's remarkable life will be held 12 Noon, Thursday, November 21, 2024, at Tyree Funeral Home Chapel, Oak Hill with Eddie McNeeley and Michael Lucas officiating. Burial will follow in Blue Ridge Memorial Gardens, Beckley. 

Family time will be from 10:00 AM until 11:00 AM. Visitation for friends will be one hour prior to service Thursday at the funeral home in Oak Hill.

Though Shirley has left this world, her memory of love, kindness, and resilience will remain with us always. Look for her at Jesus' Feet.
