Shirley Louise Baysinger, age 79, of Brumley, passed away on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at her home.  She was born in Brockton, Massachusetts, on August 17, 1946, daughter of the late Charles and Evelyn (Dorothy) Phillips.  On August 24, 1968, in Everett, Washington, Shirley was united in marriage to Ken Baysinger, who survives at their home.

Shirley attended the Ulman Baptist Church and cherished the fellowship and friendships she found there.  She lived in Alaska for 30 years, where she found peace spending time outdoors and developed a love for hunting and fishing.  Shirley broke the heaviest fish record for the Seward Silver Salmon Derby in Alaska, weighing 22.24 pounds, and proudly holds that record for the last 23 years.

She had a rewarding career as a homemaker who devoted her life to her family and home.

In addition to her loving husband, Ken Baysinger, she is also survived by her children, Katheryn Miller, Clayton Phillips, and Jeanie Baysinger; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandchild on the way.

She was preceded in death by her son, Danny Baysinger; brother, Charles Phillips; and two sisters, Evelyn Ruiz and Nancy Day.

Visitation will be held from 12:30 to 1 p.m., with a Celebration of Life at 1 p.m., on Saturday, November 15, at the Ulman Baptist Church with Rick Russell officiating.

Arrangements are under the direction of Fancher-Rekus Funeral Home in Iberia.
