Shirley Annette Bush

Shirley Annette Bush was born on September 1, 1965, to Ronald Bush and Priscilla Bush McMullen in Richland County, Columbia, South Carolina. 

She grew up in Columbia, South Carolina with her father and stepmother. Shirley graduated in 1983 from Lugoff-Elgin High School, Lugoff, South Carolina. After High School, she moved to Huntington, West Virginia. In the late 1980s, Shirley relocated to Cleveland, Ohio to be closer to her mother. 

Shirley worked as an STNA for over 30 years. She took care of her patients as if they were her own family. Shirley loved her patients and they loved and appreciated her too. One patient's family gifted her a car to show how much she was appreciated. 

In her spare time, she loved to read, watch reality TV shows, play scratch-offs, and enjoy a nice cold can of Busch beer. Shirley kept an immaculate home and was known for her delicious Southern soul food. 

Shirley was a work alcoholic, but most of all she was a devoted mother and grandmother who loved all her family and friends. 

On Saturday, April 8, 2023, the Lord called Shirley home. 

She leaves to cherish her memories six children: John Bush, California; Michael Bush, Cleveland; Rheumond Bush, West Virginia; Princess Bush, Cleveland; Precious Bush, Cleveland; Robert Creer (Kiante), Virginia; ten grandchildren; mother: Priscilla McMullen; stepmother: Geraldine Bush; four sisters: Emily Bush, California; Ronetta Parris (Ed), Cleveland; Michelle Crenshaw (Terry), Michigan and Kim Bush, South Carolina; one brother: Ronald Bush, South Carolina and a host of nieces nephews, family and friends who will miss her dearly. 

Shirley was preceded in death by her father: Ronald Bush; stepfather: Linnon McMullen and brother: James Boclear, Jr.
