Born in Grangeville, Idaho, on May 14, 1931, Shirley Louise Henry Hazelbaker was called home
to Heaven by her Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, on the morning of December 31, 2021. Shirley
was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, living and working with her
husband, Homer Hazelbaker, on their farm/ranch northeast of Grangeville, ID for 64 years prior
to his death in June of 2013. She remained at the farm/ranch, which was the family center, until
late summer of 2021 when health issues requiring full-time nursing care forced a move to the
Life Care Center in Lewiston. The family is very grateful for the excellent care and the frequent
kindnesses shown to her by the Life Care Center nursing staff while she was there prior to her
Homecoming.
Shirley and her older brother, Harriman, were born to Weston and Esther (Telcher) Henry.
When in her late teens, Shirley (Mom) fell in love with a strong and handsome young man,
Homer Hazelbaker, and married him on August 28, 1949. They built their home, which was
famous for the spiral staircase at its center, on the family farm/ranch and raised their six children
there.
