Shirley entered this life on April 30, 1935 in Lacrosse, Wisconsin, daughter to the late Herman and Lillian Peterson. Shirley was a longtime member of the Hohenwald First United Methodist Church where she loved singing in the choir. For her, family and church were foremost in her life and greatly enriched it. She enjoyed cooking and baking, doing anything with family (it didn’t matter what), and sending cards for all occasions to friends and family. But nothing brought a smile quicker than watching and being with her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and even the fur babies. In addition to her parents,
Shirley was preceded in death by her husband, Francis Carlton Bobo and sister, Karen Peterson O’Connell.
Survivors include her loving children, Sharon (Joe) Englett, Scott Bobo, Linda (Frank) Tupper, Sandra (Abe) Gaskins, and Pete (Susan) Bobo. Shirley also leaves behind her nephew John O’Connell, six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hohenwald First United Methodist Church, 200 S Court St, Hohenwald, TN 38462.
Arrangements are in the care of McDonald Funeral Home, 931-796-2207
