Mrs. Shirley Ann DuBois

Mrs. Shirley Ann (Mays) DuBois, daughter of the late Robert Goodwin and Elizabeth Mays; was born on September 27, 1950, in Ruffin, SC. She graduated from Ruffin High School in 1970. At an early age, she accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior and joined Deep Creek Missionary Baptist Church in Islandton, SC. On July 10, 1971, she was joined in holy matrimony to Lee DuBois, and to this union, three beautiful daughters were born.  

Shirley always had a green thumb and enjoyed taking time to smell the roses. She was a great cook, and her family loved when she cooked collard greens and macaroni and cheese. She put family above everything and drilled the importance of staying together into each of her kids. Most people didn’t know this, but Shirley was quite the comedian and loved to make her family laugh.

On Saturday: October 15, 2022, our wife, mother, grandmother, sister and more; departed from this earthly life. Along with her parents, she is preceded in death by one daughter, Paula Sanders: and four brothers; Bobby Mayes, Elijah Mays, Captain Freeman Mays, and Arthur Mays.

Left to embrace the many memories of her life are, her husband of fifty-one years, Lee DuBois of Ladson, SC; two daughters, Leslie DuBois (Christopher Ward) of San Antonio, TX and LaShea DuBois of North Charleston, SC: two sisters, Lottie Fennell of Ruffin, SC and Evangelist Pearl Givens of Walterboro, SC; four grandsons, Breyon (Kennietha) of Miami, FL, Mar’Quez of Walterboro, SC, Mar’Kez of Cincinnati, OH, and Kevin of North Charleston, SC; four granddaughters, LaChelle of San Antonio, TX, Breyonna of Summerville, SC, Bre’Ya of Atlanta, GA, and Kanaya of Columbia, SC; seven great grandchildren, Madison, Malachi, Kyson, Nova, Zaylen, MicKenzie and Chance; three sisters in law; Lola Mae Mayes and Rickie Mays, both of Walterboro, SC, and Luvenia Mays of Ruffin, SC: along with a host of loving nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

We welcome each of you to share in expressions of sympathy and remembrance, as well as continue to pray with this family, during this most difficult time.
