About Shirley Moore Bolick

Bolick attended Courtney School in Yadkin County, and later graduated from Wake Forest University where she majored in education/teaching.
Bolick taught in Roanoke Rapids, Mount Airy and West Yadkin schools before retiring. Bolick was a lifelong member of Courtney Baptist Church. She remained actively involved in church activities throughout her lifetime. She was known for her attention to detail, committee involvement, discerning mind, and welcoming smile.
