Shirley Teschke Bunch, age 91, of Sugar Land, Texas, died on Monday, November 16, 2015, at the Windsor Quail Valley Post-Acute Healthcare in Missouri City. She was born on Tuesday, January 15, 1924 to the late Erwin and Anna Marie Teschke.

She was preceded in death by her first husband, John Caveney, who she lost in 1964, her second husband, James "Rusty" Bunch, who she was married to from April 2, 1971, until his death in 2001, and a brother Calvin Teschke.

Shirley began her working career in Detroit, Michigan, as an accountant for the famous Henry Ford at the Ford Motor Company. She was also an accountant at several other businesses during her professional career. A very independent woman whose work ethic was forged by her experiences during The Great Depression and World War II, she was an example of "The Greatest Generation." She was a Christian.

She was able to live alone at her home until her 90's thanks to the help of her caregivers, Yubi Hart and later, Diane Riggins.

She is survived by her niece, Sonja Bunch, other nieces and one nephew.
