Shirley Ann Homler

Shirley Ann (Apgar) Homler passed away on March 6, 2026, in Franklin, Tennessee, at the age of 90. She was born on July 7, 1935, in Phillipsburg, New Jersey. Shirley’s life was characterized by her dedication to family, friends, and service.

Shirley grew up in the rural community of West Portal, New Jersey. She learned to play the piano and organ, and she became the organist of the West Portal Methodist Church when she was just 12 years old. She was a member of the National Honor Society of North Hunterdon Regional High School from which she graduated in 1953.

She married the love of her life, Gene Homler, on September 29, 1956. They resided in Plainfield, New Jersey, before settling in North Plainfield to raise their family. Later, they moved to Piscataway.

While living in New Jersey, Shirley worked as a secretary at Wigton-Abbott Corporation, an engineering firm. She stopped working to raise her children. Later, she worked for Heinzer Engineering, a company that was started by a long-time friend and neighbor. She was a member of The Order of the Eastern Star for more than 60 years holding the office of Worthy Matron from 1969 to 1970. She also served as president of the PTA for the elementary school her children attended.

In 2001, Shirley moved to Tennessee to be closer to her daughter and grandchildren. When she wasn’t helping with her grandchildren or attending their various activities, she worked at her community clubhouse greeting members early in the morning. She served on her HOA board as a member and then as treasurer for many years, positions she thoroughly enjoyed. She was a member of Bethlehem United Methodist Church where she regularly attended services and Sunday School. She participated in a bible study group, and she volunteered to sell tickets for the church’s annual fish fry. She also became a staple in the church office as a weekly volunteer.

Shirley cherished time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she recently described as “the joys of her life.” She enjoyed watching baseball on TV, especially the New York Yankees. She also cheered on the New York Jets and Giants. She became a fan of the Tennessee Titans and when her grandson attended the University of Kentucky, she became a Wildcat basketball fan. She loved listening to the music of The Statler Brothers.

Shirley had many wonderful, devoted friends who provided her with much love, care, and support. She especially enjoyed Sunday meals after church with her “lunch bunch.”

Shirley is survived by her daughter, Carole (Michael) Harry; her brother, Dale (Pattie) Apgar, and her sister-in-law, Alice Homler. She took great pride in her grandchildren: Jenni (Drew) Logsdon, Taylor (Cristen) Harry, and Matthew (Becca) Harry. She was blessed to have five great-grandchildren: Wyatt and Hadley Logsdon; Hudson, Callen, and Carson Harry. She is also survived by several beloved nieces and nephews.

Shirley was predeceased by her father, Willis Apgar; her mother, Hazel (Langenbach) Apgar; her husband of 42 years, Gene Homler; her son, Richard Homler; and her grandson, Christopher Harry.

Memorial gifts may be directed to Bethlehem United Methodist Church, 2419 Bethlehem Loop Rd, Franklin, TN 37069.

Her family wishes to give thanks to the staff at NHC Place Cool Springs who provided care for her and support for her family over the past seven months.

Louise Jordan Beauchamp

Louise Hawkins Jordan Beauchamp, 84, passed away peacefully at her home on March 5, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family after a courageous seven-month battle with oral cancer. She was born on July 27, 1941, and lived a life defined by devotion to family, education, and the preservation of history.

Louise graduated from Franklin High School as a member of the Class of 1959 and later attended Middle Tennessee State University. She went on to dedicate more than two decades to education as a teacher in the Williamson County school system. From 1976 until her retirement in 2002, she taught at Page High School, where she instructed students in typing, keyboarding, and business law. Known for her patience, warmth, and steady encouragement, she influenced generations of students who benefited from her commitment to learning and practical life skills. After retiring, she remained connected to her profession as an active member of the Retired Teachers Association.

In April 1964, Louise married the love of her life, Wallace Beauchamp, at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Their marriage was marked by deep partnership, shared laughter, and a lifelong devotion to family. Together they raised two children and created a home filled with love, traditions, and a deep appreciation for time spent together.

Louise and Wallace were the proud parents of two children, Luke (Caroline) Beauchamp and Susan (Bryant) White. She was a loving and devoted grandmother to five grandchildren: Erik White, R. Peyton White, Maxwell Beauchamp, Evelyn Beauchamp, and Grant Beauchamp. Her grandchildren were among the greatest joys of her life.

A special place in Louise’s heart was the family farm on Peytonsville Road, land originally purchased by her father and later inherited by Louise. The farm remained an important part of her life and family heritage. Today it is managed by her son, Luke, who continues to care for the property and preserve its legacy. Louise especially treasured the simple happiness of riding through the fields in Luke’s truck alongside her husband and grandchildren Maxwell and Evelyn, enjoying the beauty of the land and the quiet moments they shared together there.

Louise also had a deep love of history and genealogy. She was a member of several historical and lineage organizations, including the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Colonial Dames. Through these groups she enjoyed studying and preserving stories of the past and honoring the lives of those who came before her.

She found pleasure in the simple rhythms of life, planting flowers, tending her yard, and spending time outdoors. She also treasured her frequent phone conversations with her daughter Susan, who lives in Phoenix, Arizona, and they remained closely connected despite the distance.

Louise was preceded in death by her parents, Walter Addison Jordan and Alice Hume Jordan, her brothers Walter Hume Jordan, Thomas Addison Jordan, and Mike Porter Jordan, and her grandson, R. Peyton White.

She is survived by her beloved husband of many years, Wallace Beauchamp; her daughter, Susan (Bryant) White; her son, Luke (Caroline) Beauchamp; and her cherished grandchildren, Erik White, Maxwell Beauchamp, Evelyn Beauchamp, and Grant Beauchamp.

Louise will be remembered for her kindness, her dedication to her students, her love of history, and the deep pride she took in her family and heritage. Her steady presence, warm spirit, and gentle wisdom will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
