She had two sisters, Jeanette and Pamela (Pam) Pleasant, and three brothers, Eric and Samuel June Pleasant and Curtis (Russell) Franklin, who all proceeded her in death.

Shirley began her early Christian journey at Messiah Temple Baptist Church where B.S. Saulsby was the Pastor. She was a 1971 graduate at Hirsch High School. While there, Shirley married Michael R. Daniel Sr. and to this union, one child was born, Michael R. Daniel Jr.
