Shirley Scholl, 79, of Fredericksburg, Texas, passed from the church visible into the church eternal on Sept. 9, 2022, following a brief illness.

Born Shirley Ann Morrison in Las Vegas, N.M., the daughter of Donald Burgess Morrison and Winifred Carolyn Nichols, she grew up in Cimmaron, N.M., graduating from Cimmaron High School in 1961. She attended New Mexico State University before marrying Charles Harrison “Harry” Scholl.

Shirley served diligently for many years as court administrator for the 83rd Judicial District and the 112th District Attorney’s office, as well as serving as city secretary for the City of Alpine, Texas. Later she served as county and District clerk for Brewster County in West Texas. She was a former member of the City Secretary Association of Texas, the County and District Attorneys Association, and the Brewster County Battered Women’s board.

She was a past matron in the Order of the Eastern Star, and remained active while she was able.  Besides her family, her other love was Bridge Church, Fredericksburg, where she volunteered in the church office, was a big part of the wonderful Loving Hands Sewing Ministry, assisted with the Information Center Connect Central, and was a mighty prayer warrior and gentle friend to anyone in need.

She is survived by her children David (Collen) Scholl of Kerrville, Texas, Elizabeth (Mack) McKinney of Gloucester, Va.; and grandchildren Amanda Merck, Tori (Rusty) Cason, Lily (Stephen) Goodman, Zane, Charlotte, Jacqueline, Ashlynn, and Judy Lynn Scholl.

A Celebration of Life was on Sept. 14, 2022, at the Bridge Church in Fredericksburg. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Loving Hands Sewing Ministry, Bridge Church.
