Shirley Raines — also known as activist and founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, “Ms. Shirley” — passed away from hypertensive heart disease.
Shirley’s daughter Danielle confirmed the news to TMZ … telling us Shirley had a history of high blood pressure, which she was being treated for at the time of her passing.
A private service is scheduled for next Monday … while a public one will be held at a later date.
As we told you … Shirley was found unresponsive in her Nevada home late last month during a wellness check. She was later pronounced dead.
