Shirley Shampine

October 27, 1942 — October 31, 2024

Lake Charles

Shirley Jean Shampine lived a life of hope and perseverance. She joined her Savior, Jesus, on October 31, 2024. Born on October 27, 1942, in Gouverneur, NY, to Kenneth William and Fern Alta Klock, Shirley’s life was filled with love, resilience, and joy. She married George Shampine on September 24, 1971, in Ascension Parish, uniting their family of six with love and devotion.

Shirley's career reflected her commitment and strong work ethic. She spent many dedicated years at Neese Industries before moving on to Chemical Refineries. She then took a bold step in pioneering her own business, Tuts Bar, where she spread joy to all who knew her. After closing Tuts, she continued to thrive at Veron's Meat Market. Her journey concluded in Lake Charles, where she was a valued part of Acadian Promotional Products until her well-deserved retirement.

She is survived by her siblings, Sally McElhearn, and San and Jim Hyde; her six children, Candi Bishop, Dennis Shampine (Shannon), Rena Whetstine, Ronda Quayhagen, Robin Shampine, and Rebecca Richard (Clay); her grandchildren, Carrie, Dennis Jr., Kristin, Haly, Aaron, and Emma Shampine, Danielle Clouatre, Corlene and Kristi Bowman, Johnette and Joshua Quayhagen, Dustin Zito, Carl, Brook, and Anthony Shampine, Dara Hebert and Lillian Richard; as well as 35 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Fern Klock; her brother, Kenneth Klock Jr.; her grandson, Jay (Sterling) Hebert IV; and her granddaughters, Miranda and Mandy Shampine. 

A memorial service to celebrate Mrs. Shirley’s life will be held on Sunday November 24, 2024, at noon at Johnson Funeral Home in Lake Charles. Visitation will be open to the public beginning at 11:30 a.m.
