Warren Eldridge “Bud” Shields, 87, of Lusby, Maryland passed away on November 8, 2018, at the Burnett Calvert Hospice House in Prince Frederick. Born April 29, 1931 in Fosteria Seneca, Ohio to the late Robert G and Virginia Shields.
Bud entered the Army upon completion of High School and finished his tour of duty as a Staff Sargent. It was through his travels with the army that he met and married the love of this life, Gloria Lee Pitcher, deceased, of Broomes Island, MD. They were married for 62 years.
For almost 30 years, Bud was the owner/manager of Shields Amoco, a gas station in Prince Frederick, MD. After selling the station, Bud then worked for Pepco, Chalk Point Power Plant. Wishing to be closer to home, he then went to work for Cove Point LNG, until his retirement.
Bud’s favorite past time was playing golf. If he wasn’t golfing with Gloria, you would find him with his 3 amigos; Jack Upton, Chuck Debolt, and Monty Souder. He treasured the time he spent with his family and friends.
