Shirley was dearly loved and will be missed by many friends, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Shirley Ann Rozier Lopez, a resident of Savannah for over 40 years, passed away August 12, 2020 unexpectedly from an injury.
Shirley was born February 13, 1936 to Levy and Bessie Rozier of Alma, GA. Shirley was dearly loved and will be missed by many friends, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Shirley moved with her husband Ray and young family from California to Alma in the early 1970s. She worked with the Model Cities Program until 1976 when the family moved to Savannah. Shirley worked for 22 years for Chatham County beginning in 1977 as a Budget Analyst and Director. She was a well-respected employee and expert in her area.
Shirley was a long time member of Trinity Lutheran Church and was always involved with church activities. She took pride in and devoted her life to her constantly growing family - children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She loved her Shitzu babies: Putt-Putt, Keelie, and Katie. We know that Keelie will be greeting her.

Shirley was a lot of fun. She worked with me at TLC while I was treasurer. She would audit my books for me on a monthly basis and prepare all the reports that we would need. In other words, she was the treasurer and all I did was have the name and write the checks. I couldn't have done it without her. We had a good time doing it and I am forever in her debt. She was the sweetest person to everyone she met and will be sorely missed.

Dear Members of the Lopez Family. Your Mom was a special person and those of us who worked with her as a Chatham Co. Employee thought of her as extended family. We grieve with you during this time of loss. Please know that we loved her, too, and will miss her. I look forward to seeing her again, as Jesus promised. Because He lives, we too who have accepted Jesus as our Savior, will live.

Have known Shirley as a fellow member of Trinity Lutheran Church for many years. When we younger we worked together on many committees there. She was always a pleasure to work with. She will be missed by all who knew her. I extend sincere sympathy to her family.

Memories of Shirley, Buddy, Aunt Bessie are so sweet. They visited us each summer Aunt Bessie bringing Shirley and Buddy on the bus for a sweet summer vacation for us all. We grew apart as we grew older but the love was never lost between Shirley, Lamar and the four of us. Shirley, Lamar and my three sisters are now home sitting round the feet of Jesus just waiting for the remainder of us. Much Love and Prayers, Mary Ellen Berry Murphy

My wife Pam and I would like to express our extreme sadness over losing such a wonderful lady and fellow church-goer in Shirley Lopez. She was such a friendly and warm person and her love for the Lord shone through in everything she did both with the church and in her personal life. She's another of those lovely people of whom one says, "I wish I had known her better." She will be missed by all. Dear Shirley--go with God!

I'm so sorry for such a great loss. I know how wonderful of a lady she was and how close she was to her family. She always treated my daughter Kailey as one of her own. A very very sweet lady. My heart aches for the family. You are all in our prayers.

Shirley was a special lady. I met Shirley when I was on the County Commission and she was always a lady and explained every question I ask. Shirley may be my relative on mine. I was named after my grandfather, Frank Rozier.
