Shirley Ann Ohman

Shirley Ann Ohman of Caro, age 77, passed away on Sunday, January 15, 2017 at Satchell's Christian Retirement Home in Caro. Shirley was born June 2, 1939 in Mt. Morris, the daughter of the late Charles and Opal (Warren) Bills. She was united in marriage with Alfred Ohman on July 14, 1956. She was a stay at home mom, although she spent part of her years working for Burns Poultry Farm gathering eggs, and also had a few house cleaning jobs. Shirley loved her kitchen and gardening. She enjoyed cooking, baking, canning, and was known for her wonderful homemade bread, fitting ten loaves in the oven at one time. Shirley loved her family and friends, and shared her bread, her heart, and her smile. Her favorite saying, "So-Be-It," was a catchy phrase and is still used by all. Shirley is survived by three children and their spouses, Randy Ohman of Millington, Bonnie & Lee Hergenreder of Caro, Ronald & Kyla Ohman of Farmington, Minnesota; three grandchildren, Sarah Stewart, Jennifer Morrison and Zane Ohman; five great-grandchildren, Ashtyn, Trenton, Chloe, Ava and Jacob; two sisters, Judy Kunisch and Linda Johnson; four brothers, Glen, Russell, Jerry and Jim Bills; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by three sisters, Carol Blakely, Pauline Bills and Sally Sue Bills; and three brothers, Donald, Charles "Chuck" and Robert Bills. In keeping with Shirley's wishes, cremation has taken place. A memorial gathering for family and friends will be held at a later date. Inurnment will be at Brookside Cemetery in Fairgrove. Those planning an expression of sympathy may wish to consider memorial contributions to the Shirley Ohman Family Discretionary Fund, c/o Bonnie Hergenreder, 205 West Sherman Street, Caro, MI 48723.
