Mrs. Shirley Ann Shook Bumbalough, age 88, of the Morgan City community of Lacey’s Spring, Alabama , passed away at her residence on Thursday, October 26, 2023. Shirley was born in Springfield, Ohio June 17, 1935, daughter of Lenard Shook and Helen Hall Shook. She was a loving and generous wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, friend and co-worker. She shared 66 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Malcolm E. Bumbalough. Together they created a beautiful family and built a lifetime of precious memories to cherish.
Shirley was employed by the Morgan County Board of Education. She happily served many years as the Union Hill School secretary. Even after her official retirement she could often be found donating her time at the school helping with the staff and students. She also enjoyed traveling and visiting new places.
