Shirley Ann Trump, 79, passed away peacefully at home on Monday, December 8, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones.
A woman of deep compassion, resilience, and faith, Shirley lived a life devoted to her family, her community, and her beliefs. Her love for those around her was steadfast, and her legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched.
Born in Cedar Bluff, Virginia, on June 19, 1946, Shirley was the daughter of Jesse James Shrader and Rose Ann (Whitt) Shrader. She was one of ten siblings, and at the age of two, her family relocated to Indiana, where she would spend the rest of her life.
As a young adult, Shirley committed her life to Christ, and her faith remained the cornerstone of her existence. She devoted many years to teaching
Sunday School, guiding others with her unwavering belief. While she held various jobs in factories and banking throughout her life, her greatest joy was found in raising her children with love and dedication. She was also deeply proud of her role as a grandmother and great-grandmother.
Shirley was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 53 years, Vinton Trump, as well as her siblings Fred Elwood Shrader, Joseph
Shrader, Clarence Vernon Shrader, Betty Lou Schwomeyer, and Douglas Wayne Shrader, and her brother-in-law Steven Ellis Trump.
She is survived by her children, Lex Trump and Ginny Schmalix, her grandson Matthew Honeycutt, and her great-grandchildren, Nahla and Dakota. Shirley is also remembered by her surviving siblings: Lois Gay Calvert, Alvie Richard Shrader, Howard Jessie Shrader, Norma Jean Fouquet, her brother-in-law Michael Garrison, and sister-in-law Eva Robinson.
The family will receive friends from 10:00 am to 11:00 am at Whitaker Funeral Home, 201 N Lafayette St, in Cloverdale, Indiana, on Saturday, December 13, 2025.
