Mrs. Shirley Lee Hines-Davis was born March 4, 1943 in Taft, Texas to the late Henry Mae Porter-Pleasant and Lee Roy Pleasant.

Shirley was the eldest of five children born to that union. She attended public school in the Taft Unified School District. Shirley received Christ at an early age and was a member of Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church in Taft, Texas. As a child, Shirley loved to play the piano and was a star on the Taft High School Girl's Basketball Team. As an adult, she loved wearing high quality perfumes and taking bubble baths; as well as routine trips to pamper herself at her favorite nail salon.
