Shirley Skelton, R.N. 
Sept. 8, 1937 - Dec. 17, 2005 

Shirley was born in Witchita, KS to Geathen and Marie Brown. At a very young 
age, Shirley moved to Bakersfield to start a new life. She graduated from East 
High in 1957 & started working in the medical field as an LVN at San Joaquin 
Hospital. In 1967 she decided to become an R.N., and started attending classes 
at BC. In 1971 she graduated from BC at the top of her class with honors. The 
family moved to Fresno where she became a surgery nurse, then a surgery 
supervisor. In 1978 she moved to Meridian and became Director of Nurses at 
Colusa Community Hospital. In 1988 she became Director of Nurses at Mad River 
Community Hospital. She ended her career back in Bakersfield at Healthsouth in 
2003. Shirleys main goal was to take care of the sick and be an advocate for 
her nurses and patients. She was a great Director. She was the perfect example 
that nurses are Angels of Mercy. Shirley is preceded in death by her father, 
Geathen Eldon Brown, Mother Marie Inez Brown, RN, brother Gary Brown, son 
Stuart Wayne Skelton. She is survived by her son Brian Skelton & wife Julie, 
grandchildren Allison Skelton, Stuart Skelton, Jr. & John Skelton, ex-husband
