Mrs. Shields, the daughter of Jim Boren & Grace Hall Boren, was born April 12, 1928, in Lamar County, Texas.
She worked a number of years at Nahas and at a clothing factory in Roxton. Her later years were spent working at the Holiday Inn. It was also during those years she was a helpmate to her husband, Richard, on their farm doing everything from tending cattle to combining grain. She loved animals from cats and dogs to a 20-year-old cow she cared for through its life.
Jimmie was a member of the Forest Hill United Methodist Church. During Carolyn’s school years, she was always the room mother, as Carolyn would volunteer her for those duties.
Her husband, Richard Shields, and a grandson, Edward Hostetler, Jr., preceded her in death.
