Mr. Shirley Koerber Obituary
He had also formerly worked for Texaco Oil Company in California and Arizona before transitioning to the distributorship industry where he left a mark with his exceptional service and work ethic until his retirement.
Not only was Mr. Koerber exemplary in his career, but he also served his country honorably in the United States Air Force from 1952 to 1956. His dedication to duty and commitment to serving others characterized his entire life.
Outside of work and military service, he found joy in various hobbies and interests such as driving tractor-trailers, traveling in the RV he and his wife owned, mowing grass, and simply spending time with his beloved family. He was a member of the Verona Church of Christ.
He leaves behind a legacy that will be carried on by his surviving family members: his loving wife, Loretta Ophelia Young Koerber, of Warsaw, KY, to whom he would have celebrated 70 years of marriage with on September 17th of this year; a daughter, Dianne Koerber (Bobbo Wilson) Stockdale of Carrollton, KY; a son Monty Lynn Koerber of Warsaw, KY; a daughter-in-law Stella Koerber of Warsaw, KY; along with six grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren.
Shirley was preceded in death by his parents Denver Monroe Koerber and Mildred Ashcraft Koerber, a sister Juanita Jackson, and a brother Arnold Koerber who have now reunited with him in eternal peace.
