Mr. Stubbs was born June 8, 1926, in the Ft. Perry community of Marion County to

discharged from the Navy, he attended Truman-Smith Business Institute where he 
earned a certificate in accounting and business administration. Mr. Stubbs began 
his civilian career with Southern Airways before going on to become the Chief 
Investigator for the District Attorney’s office in Columbus, GA.  He later 
transitioned to the Chief Deputy Clerk and later the Clerk of Superior Court in 
Columbus, GA.  Mr. Stubbs retired at the end of 1988, and returned to his home 
in rural Marion County, GA. He was generous, kind, had a quick sense of humor, 
and was known for his embellished storytelling. 

 In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his significant other 
of thirty years, Doris Newman; two sisters, Carrie Bell Yancy and Annie Lorena 
Clark; by two brothers, Fred Stubbs and Johnie Morris Stubbs; and by a close 
first cousin, George “Buddy” Stubbs.

 He is survived by his three daughters, Brenda Stevens (Kenny Gray) of 
Westpoint, GA, Barbara Stubbs Gill of Phenix City, AL, and Janet Stubbs Shirah 
(Pierre Millet) of Lagrange, GA, and by the mother of his children, Beatrice 
McCune; two grandchildren, Carey Michael Shirah (Bethany) and Elaine Nicole 
Shirah; three great-grandchildren, Juniper Shirah, Jovie Shirah, and Christopher
