Shirley Ann Osborn Risinger, age 93, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 26, 2026, in Tennessee, surrounded by the love of her family.

She was born on May 28, 1932, in Jeffersonville, Indiana, to Joseph and Janet Osborn. Shirley was a proud lifelong resident of Indiana, a place she always considered home. Though she spent her final days in Tennessee, her heart never left Indiana, where she now rests once more.

Shirley found joy in the simple and meaningful things in life.  She always loved animals, especially her cat, Harley.  Shirley had a special passion for growing flowers, taking great pride in creating breathtaking landscapes.  She also cherished traveling with her beloved husband, Sonny, sharing a lifetime of memories and adventures together.

Shirley was deeply devoted to her family.  She found her greatest joy in the roles of mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, and she nurtured those relationships with unwavering love, strength and care.  Her selfless legacy will live on in the generations she has shaped.
