Shirley Bobo Obituary
Mrs. Bobo was born on February 14, 1938, in Thomaston, Georgia to the late, Mr. Ernest Hamby and Mrs. Mary Hamby. She was a member of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church and was a member of the Ruth Sunday School Class. Mrs. Bobo retired from Riverwood after 20 years of service, where she worked in the warehouse. She was a devoted mother and grandmother whose greatest joy in life was her family.
