1918-2018

Shirley Bourgeois Enderle died peacefully on March 19, 2018 in Richmond, Texas. A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, April 9, at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church. She was born in San Antonio, Texas, to Estelle and Charles Bourgeois. After graduating from Brackenridge High School, she married her high school sweetheart, Buford Enderle. Married for 74 years, they lovingly reared two daughters. After moving to Houston, they joined St. Paul’s Methodist Church and the Baines Sunday School Class where they made many life-long friends. At the time of her death, Shirley was the church’s oldest living member. Her passion was her home and family. The loving, caring atmosphere of their home created rich and treasured memories. Her creativity was especially evident in her cooking, hostessing, and gracious hospitality. Devoted to her daughters, and later her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, she nurtured, encouraged and guided them. She was known for her welcoming smile, her genuine laughter, her thoughtfulness and her generosity. The family would like to thank all those who visited her, called her on the phone, sent her cards and notes, cared for her, and loved her. Shirley was predeceased by her parents, her husband and their infant son, Thomas Charles. To cherish her memory, Shirley is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Christie Lord (Ron) of Sugar Land, Beverly Holcomb (Kevin) of Austin, grandchildren Hillary Lord Rogers (Bill), Keith Lord (Deborah), Ryan Holcomb (Carrie), Brandon Holcomb (Michelle), Blake Holcomb (Rachel), and Christopher Holcomb. She is also survived by ten great grandchildren: Emily, Blake, Caroline, Christopher, Scott, Ashley, Boyd, Davis, Hayes, and Grayson.
