Obituary Online notes for Shirley WEBSTER
SNOW CAMP - Mrs. Shirley Webster Cobb, 83, of 8333 Snow Camp Road, passed at 10:50 p.m. Thursday, May 23, 2013, at the Hospice Home of Burlington after six months of failing health.

Shirley was a member of Andrews Memorial Baptist Church in Graham, North Carolina, and also attended Harvest Baptist Church and Rock Creek Methodist Church.

She was employed at Kayser Roth offices for 15 years before leaving in 1970 to help her husband Elmo operate Confederate Acres Golf Course (now Southwick). Later they built, owned and operated Sourwood Forest Golf Course in Snow Camp. Shirley was known for the tasty hot dogs she made at both courses. During those years she took up golf and went on to play even more when she retired at age 67. She participated in ladies golf associations at many area courses. Shirley was a true competitor, making 3 holes in one and was still able to break 100 at age 82. She made friends wherever she went and cherished each one. Her kindness and generosity will truly be missed and never forgotten by her family and friends.

Surviving family members are her husband, Elmo P. Cobb, of the home; daughter, Renee Brown and husband, Terry, of Burlington; son, Quentin Lee Cobb of Snow Camp; grandchildren, Landon Brown and wife, Melanie, Heath Brown, and Lance Brown; great-grandchildren, Conner Brown, Madeline Brown, Garrett Brown and Dirk Brown; and brother, Dan Webster and wife, Claudia, of Burlington.

Shirley was preceded in death by her parents, Edgar Rex Webster and Etta Mae Johnson Webster; son, Steven W. Cobb; grandson, Joshua Dylan Cobb; and two sisters, Ruby Webster Warren and Annie Webster Edwards.
