Born in Tooele, Utah, to Dorothy Mary Blackstone Proctor and Max Kidd Proctor on January 31, 1931, Shirley was raised in Tooele. She married Jack Eugene Brough on June 3, 1949, at Tooele, Utah. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. They made their home in Utah until 1962, when Jack and Shirley moved to Idaho Falls, Idaho, where they continued to raise their four children. Shirley worked as a switchboard operator at Riverview Hospital, then at the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. She also worked at Idaho State University as an audio visual aide. Jack preceded her in death on March 22, 2000. Shirley loved genealogy, basketball, playing the organ, gardening and tending to her plants. She had a “green thumb.” She especially loved spending time with her family and thought her greatest legacy was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. An avid organ player, she enjoyed playing at her ward each Sunday, and she lit up a room with her smile and music. An active member of the Ucon LDS Ward for many years, Shirley accepted callings in all organizations of the LDS Church, including serving two missions to the Idaho Falls Family History Center as a genealogy research assistant. She served as an organist at the Idaho Falls LDS Temple on Wednesdays. Always a Good Samaritan, her life has been an example of the church’s teachings. She opened her door to anyone who was in need, caring for her grandchildren and helping many others in times of struggle. Shirley will be greatly missed by all those who have been blessed to have known her in their lives. Shirley was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jack Brough; sisters, Judy Houghton, baby sister, Maxine Proctor; and her parents, Dorothy and Max Proctor. Surviving are their children, Dennis (Sandy) Brough, Christy Lindley Carter, Jeff Brough, and Greg Brough, all of Idaho Falls, Idaho; and brothers, Donald Proctor, Kenneth “Kenny” Proctor and Bruce Proctor; sister, Patricia “Trisha” Hawkins all of Tooele, Utah. Also surviving are nine grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, June 22, 2010, at the Ucon LDS Stake Center, 2967 East 105 North, with Bishop Dan Keck of the Ucon LDS Homestead Ward officiating. The family will visit with friends Monday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Wood Funeral Home East Side, 963 S. Ammon Road, and Tuesday from Noon to 12:45 p.m. at the church prior to services. Burial will be at Fielding Memorial Park under the direction of Wood Funeral Home. ---------------------------------------------------- Condolences received online: Kevin D. Brown etcsbrown@hotmail.com A lot of us neighborhood kids virtually moved into the Brough household when they arrived in Idaho Falls. Shirley (Mom) always made us feel welcome and part of the family. I still remember, and pay attention to, the many “lessons” she shared with us throughout the years. I am very blessed to have known her and the entire family — my thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Greg Santucci My deepest sympathies to Jeff and family over the passing of mom Shirley. Jeff and I have become good friends over the years through our business dealings and I would like to share in the faimily's loss at this time, regards.
