Shirley Louise Clark Lockwood
Shirley Louise Clark Lockwood, age 87, of Ringgold, Georgia, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to the late William “Lefty” Clark and Irene Stephens Clark, Shirley was a lifelong resident of the Chattanooga area. She was a devoted member of The Gathering Church and known for her deep faith, warm heart, and unwavering love for her family.
Shirley retired in 2000 from the Lutheran School in East Ridge after more than 20 years of dedicated service. She found great joy in spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren -often sharing puzzles, laughter, chocolate, and peanuts with them.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Al Lockwood, and her brothers, Larry Clark, Paul Clark, and Jack Clark.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Terry (Gina) Lockwood, Carla Edmonds, and April (Bryan) Perry; sister, Marlene Wrinkle; brother, Gary Clark; grandchildren, Andrew (Monica) Lockwood, Alex (Caris) Lockwood, Chris (Kayla) Edmonds, Cailey Edmonds, and Caleb (Savannah) Perry; seven great-grandchildren; and special niece, Tina Rogers and several other nieces and nephews.
The family will receive friends on Friday from 4-8 p.m. A private family entombment will be held at a later date.
Arrangements are entrusted to Wilson Funeral Home – Wallis-Stewart Chapel, Ringgold.
