Don and Shirley lived and raised their family on a farm south of Hay Springs. They celebrated their 60th anniversary and we’re happily married until Don‘s passing.
Family was important to Shirley. She never misses kids’ concerts or games. The same went for grandkids and great-grandkids.
Shirley always stayed busy. She was very involved with church and lived her faith by word and action as she shared life with family, neighbors and friends. Having quite the green thumb, Shirley grew lovely flowers and gardens.
She was an accomplished seamstress who sewed beautiful clothes for her daughters and later created many quilting projects. She also enjoyed her card clubs and was always ready for a game of cribbage or bridge.
