Shirley Ann (Stoll) Buchwald was born on January 11, 1947, at the family home, south of Indiahoma, Oklahoma. She was the youngest of six children to Daniel and Hanna (Fischer) Stoll. She attended Indiahoma Public Schools, graduating from Indiahoma High School in 1965. After graduating from high school, she worked in the office until her marriage to Lanny Buchwald on October 24, 1970. Shirley started as a teacher's aide at Faxon and went on to be the principal's secretary. She had a total of 38 years of service at Faxon and Chattanooga Public Schools. She and Lanny made their home east of Faxon where she went on to raise their only son, Bryan Buchwald. Bryan was later married to Maurissa Wyatt in December of 1999. Just one year later, she met her companion and special friend, Joe Stuckey. The two formed a 22-year relationship that many of us didn't see one without the other. Ultimately, some of her proudest moments were her two grandchildren, Brayden now 14, and Beau, 10. She enjoyed every moment with those two boys. She was a beloved daughter, sister, mother, and grandma. She loved the Lord with all her heart and studied his word as a faithful believer. Shirley loved gardening, baking, cooking, and studying. His word. She dedicated her life to raising a wonderful son and working in the school system. She enjoyed watching Bryan with his family and raising two boys that meant the world to her. Basketball games were always on the schedule for Joe and her to attend and cheer on the Chatty Warriors.
