Legendary Christian Vocalist in Deep Mourning, Says Bye-bye to Spouse of 65 Years – Faith Household America

So unfortunate! My mother and father liked Pat Boone and his spouse, Shirley. Our condolences to the whole Boone family.

The unfortunate news was just validated that famous vocalist Pat Boone remains in deep grieving after suffering an extreme loss. Sadly, his better half, Shirley, has died.

According to reports, Shirley Boone has actually passed away at the age of 84. She passed away from congestive heart failure after remaining in hospice care.

Shirley, Pat’s spouse of 65 years, died on January 11. She was surrounded by her household at the time of her death, with her four children singing to her.

Pat wrote, “My sweet spouse of 65 years is in the arms of the Lord now.”

A source informed Radar Online,”Shirley had been ill for a long time now. She was suffering from heart disease and was in hospice care.”

The source said that two of Shirley’s children were in the area near the time of their mother’s passing. Her 2 other daughters flew in to say bye-bye as well.

The source continued, “The women were naturally stressed over Pat, as they’ve been wed for 65 years and together for 68. This is just so really sad to say the least.”

Numerous weeks before Shirley’s death, Pat took to the Christian Broadcast Network to request prayers for his precious spouse. Lots of people around the nation were wishing the Boone family. Unfortunately, Shirley has actually now passed on and the lovebirds will now be separated “for a little while,” according to Pat.

In 2017, Pat opened about his sweet love story with his high school sweetheart.

He said, “Shirley and I were the proverbial high school sweethearts. We satisfied when we were 13, we buckled down when we were 16 and started going steady. We both went to a Christian high school in Nashville. She was homecoming queen. I was president of the student body and captain of the baseball team. We wed at 19.”

He continued, “And, obviously, she’s my sweetie. We have actually had 4 children, 16 grandkids and, now, 9 great-grandkids!

Now, Pat has confirmed that his beloved is “in the arms of the Lord.”

Please be praying for Pat and their 4 daughters throughout this sad time. Share your prayers here!

*** October 4th, 2026 *** 

Can you believe fall is here?  All Hallow’s Eve and Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  We wish you the wonderful opportunity to experience God’s beauty with the changing of the leaves and colors of His amazing creation!

Our prayer here at the LIGHT! is that you would experience God’s love and reflect the light of Jesus to all whom the Spirit brings into your life.  In excelsis Deo!

Please pray for the war that we are undertaking with Iran right now.  Pray for the soldiers who are in harms way and for the family of those who’ve fallen.  Pray that we would be able to achieve peace and be clear about why we are there.

Please continue to pray for our divided country.  May not only the Truth of Jesus prevail but also the “truth” of reality.  Helping Americans to focus more on solving problems using facts rather than debating even what the facts are is much more productive.  Let the politicians focus on *policy*.  We, as the Church, should focus on our *culture* and not depend on policy to define culture.  As we have said many times, “you can’t legislate morality.”  We can, however, be “winsome” as the Bible encourages us to be, and “win some” of our friends who are not yet believers to the faith!

Please pray for peace in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel.  We unequivocally support Israel’s right to defend itself.  We support non-Hamas affiliated Palestinians who want peace – they need humanitarian relief.  Israel should not be oppressing these folks.

Continue to pray for the Ukraine & Russian people suffering under Putin. Please pray for President Trump to stand against this aggression and to ensure the continued aid for the Ukrainians to keep fighting for their independence from the authoritarian regime of Vladimir Putin. 

*** Based on your feedback we will shift to hosting the services online even after the risk of COVID has lessened ***

Services
Our current focus is on learning more about “Welcoming the Stranger” – God’s heart for us as His people in how we show hospitality to those who are aliens in our land – status notwithstanding.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
