70-year-old Buffalo Center resident Shirley King is loved by everyone, both staff and fellow residents, at the 200-bed skilled nursing facility on Delaware Avenue in Buffalo. During Recreation Department events, such as Music Bingo or when percussionist Kenneth Belot comes to play at the facility, Shirley is always seen helping out the other residents, getting them what they need, helping out the staff in any way she can, just bringing sunshine into the facility.

According to Recreation Director Robin Hibbert, “Shirley is so wonderful and she really is an amazing person, so sweet and we all love her here. No one asks her to do anything, she just loves being a huge-hearted people person.”
