Believed to have been attacked on August 14, her body was found by a passer-by almost a full day later.

Sherrif John Tate announced per the medical examiner’s office that her cause of death was dog bites.

The three suspected dogs have reportedly already been euthanised.

Neighbours of the victim told local media that aggressive behaviour was a regular part of the dogs’ temperament.

The sheriff confirmed that there are currently no charges awaiting the owner of the dogs due to a lack of sufficient physical evidence linking the dogs to the death of the woman.

The Peel Funeral home released an obituary on Shirley.

She died just shy of her 70th birthday, which would have been on October 16.

“Shirley is survived by three sons, Jerry Johnson, Jody Johnson, and Michael Johnson and wife Jane all of Bonifay, FL; three grandchildren, Johnathan, Dalton, and Caleb; several aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family,” the announcement from the funeral home read.

A graveside service was held for Shirley on August 18 at the Stevenson Cemetery, according to the obituary.
