At 94, Shirley Batchelder has lived a full and wonderful life—like the George Bailey kind.
She was married for 57 years to the drop-dead-gorgeous, curly-haired man of her dreams. With three children, grandkids galore and lots of visitors, Shirley regularly enjoys the company of her loved ones.
As she approaches 100, she still paints portraits in her free time and leads her retirement home in game night with her Vanna-White charisma.
With pink socks on her feet, pink flowers in her hair and a pink bed to match, she’s pretty much the cutest, coolest grandma on the planet.
Of the many blessings showered upon her, “I have had a fantastic life,” says Shirley.
But there was still one thing left on her bucket list…
She wanted to buy a five-second ad on television to give a three-word message to anyone willing to listen.
