Shirley Sisson Obituary
ROCK SPRINGS — Shirley Ann (Radford) Sisson, 81, Rock Springs, departed from this life on January 3, 2017 at Darst's Adult Group Home.
She was born in Pomeroy on October 6, 1935, daughter of the late Wyatt E. "Sam" and Dorothy (Cantebury) Radford. In addition to her parents, Shirley was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, George Roy Sisson, and her daughter, Kristal Lynn (Sisson) Bolin.
Shirley is survived by two sons; George "Brent" Sisson and Philip Richard "Rick" (Patti) Gaul; grandchildren Adrian Bolin, Joshua (Breanna) Bolin, Zachary (Sonya) Bolin, Audra (Buddy) Funk, Jared Gaul, Heath Sisson and John Joseph (Michelle) Sisson; great-grandchildren Hunter and Bailey Sisson, Krislynn Funk, Bradyn and Adilynn Bolin, and Kaleb Bolin; brother, Philip Radford; sister-in-law, Carolyn Teaford; and several nieces and nephews.
Shirley always had room in her heart for one more; she adopted many into her heart of TLC, well-representing the "spirit of adoption" as referenced in the Bible. Shirley's daily life included getting up early to read scripture; often, she wrote down scriptures and gave/sent them to many. Shirley often commented that her years as "Gran" were the best years of her life. As time marched on, her favorite saying became – "I just go with the flow!" Undoubtedly, Shirley made the world a better place; quite an accomplishment for someone who loved to be home.
A graveside service will be held at the Rock Springs Cemetery on Thursday, Jan. 12 at 10:30 a.m. Memorial contributions, in lieu of flowers, can be made to the Meigs County Branch of Hospice or Rocksprings United Methodist Church.
Arrangements are under the direction of the Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home in Pomeroy. A registry is available at www.andersonmcdaniel.com

I am so sorry to hear of Shirleys passing. I am happy that I was able to visit her when we traveled to Ohio a couple of years ago. She was like a second mom, growing up in Pomeroy. She will not be forgotten.

I am very sorry for the loss your family has suffered. God can give all who lose loved ones comfort and turn our mourning into exultation, as promised at Jeremiah 31:13. I am sure you will continue to receive comfort and loving support because of the wonderful legacy Mrs. Sisson left.

So sorry to hear of Shirley's passing. She and George were wonderful people. They would come to flea market and make comments about my quilts. I am Aunt Carolyns neice, and knew them through her. May God be with you as you grieve. Prayers and my thoughts are with you.
