Shirley Marie Willis Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on April 6, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Shirley Marie Willis of Raleigh, North Carolina. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Shirley Marie Willis to show support.

In the hush of twilight, as the stars twinkle in silent homage, we reflect on the legacy Shirley leaves behind and her impact on the lives of her loved ones. Though Shirley may no longer walk among us, her spirit lives on in the memories held dear by her family and friends, a guiding light that illuminates their paths in times of darkness.

She is survived by: her daughters, Watasha Willis and Porcha Willis; her grandchildren, Tazja Willis and Harlem Willis; and her siblings, Carrie Willis, James Pettaway (Mary), Donald Pettaway and William Willis Jr. (Kim). She is also survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
