ShirleyAnn MiNei Bingham

ShirleyAnn “MiNei” Bingham, age 84, passed away on Thursday, September 19, 2024, in Maryville, TN. ShirleyAnn was born on October 1, 1939, in Panama City, Panama to the late Enrique Broce Llopis and Eva Ernesta Lyma-Young Lewis.

She was an amazing cook who enjoyed gathering friends and family for a meal. She loved hula dancing, starting in her early 20's at the Mai Kai and South Pacific in Florida. She had a vibrant personality and smile for those who she met and loved over the years. Her positive outlook was reflected in her big, beautiful smile.
