Shirley was primarily a homemaker, although she worked part-time for many years doing alterations for men's clothing stores in Oelwein. She loved sewing, knitting, baking, decorating, and playing bridge. Shirley was an avid reader, a trait she passed to her children and many of her grandchildren. When her children were young she volunteered as a Den Mother, CCD instructor and was active in P.T.A. She was a member of Tuesday Tourists, Mercy Hospital Auxiliary, and the Sacred Heart Rosary Society. She served Sacred Heart for a number of years as Sacristan, in charge of caring for altar linens and vestments. Shirley was the first woman to become a lector at Sacred Heart and became coordinator for the lector program. She organized the first Mardi Gras at Sacred Heart and was pleased to see it continue. She was a founding member of the Cupboard consignment shop in Oelwein. She was a proud member of the 1990 Polar Bear Club at the Oelwein Pool.
