Sharing the Harvest will host its Hill Country Mah Jongg Tournament beginning at 8 a.m. on Oct. 6 at the Kingsland Community Center, 3451 Rose Hill Drive, in honor of volunteer Shirley Marie Theisen.

Kingsland resident Theisen, formerly Shirley Shiflett, died Feb. 5, 2026, at the age of 64. She played an active role at Sharing the Harvest, organizing canned food drives, helping prepare the community Thanksgiving meal and leading the nonprofit’s Mah Jongg tournament in 2025.

“Shirley organized this event last year, which raised $10,000 for our nonprofit, not knowing it would be her first and only tournament,” Executive Director Cynthia Green said. “At Sharing the Harvest, they come for food, but then we discover a much bigger need, and Shirley was there to witness so many impactful lifestyle changes.”

Born in Richmond, Virginia, Theisen spent most of her life there before moving to Kingsland with her husband, Robert.

Those interested in participating in the tournament can reserve a seat by contacting Laurie at 512-971-7314 or Sally at 830-637-9280.
