SHIRLEY ANN BARBOUR
Lake Odessa, MI - Shirley Ann Barbour, age 84, of Lake Odessa, passed away 
Thursday, Feb. 21, 2019, at Spectrum Health Heart Center.

Shirley was born on march 14, 1934, in Sebewa Township. She was the daughter 
of Carlton and Pearl Vance. She graduated from Mount Pleasant High School in 
1952 and married the love of her live, Wallace Barbour, in 1954. Shirley and 
Wally bought a farm in 1959 in Lake Odessa, where they remained throughout 
their 63 year marriage. Together they raised three sons.

Shirley was absolutely the matriarch of the Barbour family. She helped work 
the family farm, but also had many hobbies. After Wally's retirement, the 
couple spent many winters in LaBelle, FL., with friends, golfing, fishing and 
playing cards.

Shirley loved being outside; walking, gardening and digging  in her flower 
beds. She was a fantastic cook and loved entertaining family and friends. 
Cookies and coffee were always on hand for anyone who stopped by to visit. 
Shirley was an avid reader and a lover of sports (Especially her 
grandchildren).

Shirley is survived by her sons, Dan (Ann), Steve (Pam), Mark (Julie); 
grandchildren, Jermey (Kate), Nichole (Adam), Tracey (Rodrigo), Kristi 
(Wajde), Michael (Jessica), Rosie; three great-grandchildren, and sisters, 
Sarah and Marilynn.

Preceding her in death were her parents, Carlton and Pearl, along with her 
brother, Richard, and her beloved husband, Wally. 

A private family service will be held at a later date.

Memorials in Shirley's name can be made to the Lake Odessa community Library.
