Shirley A. Jambois

On Tuesday morning, May 24th, our Mom, Shirley A. (Mrs. George) Jambois, 83, of Genoa, WI, received her angel wings and joined our Dad in heaven. She was born on October 12, 1932 in Fountain City, WI to Rueben and Winnie (Irmscher) Schultz. At the age of 12 her family moved to Genoa. Shirley graduated in 1950 from Viroqua High School. On October 21, 1950 she was united in marriage to the love of her life, George A. Jambois at St. Matthew’s Ev. Lutheran Church in Stoddard. Shirley loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She was an excellent cook and family gatherings were an important part of our lives. She was a loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend.
She is survived by her children whom they referred to as “their pride and joy”, Kathy (Russell) Hayden, Nancy (John) Wrobel, Timothy (Lori) Jambois, Todd (Pam) Jambois, Andrea Jambois, Craig (Michelle) Jambois, and Heidi (Brian) Rosenow, her grandchildren, Aric Bernhardt, Tracy (Aaron) Dimmig, Tera (Matt) Blankenship, Nicole, Greg, Aubrey, and Kayla Jambois, and Tyler and Dominic Rosenow, eight great grandchildren, two brothers, Bud (Darlene) Shultz and Ken (Pat) Schultz, two brothers-in-law, Florente (Patsy) Jambois and Duane Jambois, and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband George in 2013, a son Steven in infancy, her parents, and brothers and sisters-in-law, Harris and Darlene Jambois, Bill and Marcia Jambois, Janice Jambois, Betty Jambois, and Marian Jambois.
