After moving to Atlantic, she and Rodney enjoyed meeting friends for coffee and/or breakfast several mornings a week and a monthly card party with another group. Shirley also enjoyed regular gathers with high school classmates and attending the Oak Tree Opry where she sometimes heard a favorite song “Little Brown Dog and Little Green Frog”. Her grandchildren relished her annual “Bingo Party” for which she spent the entire year collecting the perfect bingo gifts for everyone that would attend. Anyone who knew Shirley quickly saw that she had a very kind heart and was always looking for ways to help, or share with others. When adversity came knocking at her door, she seldom complained but often said “it is what it is” and then looked for ways to make the best of the situation.
Preceding her in death were her parents; her brothers, Arthur, Melvin, Kenneth, and Dwight, who died in infancy; and a granddaughter, Meredith Fellows, who also died in infancy.
Surviving Shirley are her husband, Rodney of Atlantic, Iowa; a son, Timmie Dean Schroeter (Deb) of Brayton, Iowa; a daughter, Susan Marie Smith (Michael) of Brayton; and a daughter, Amy Jo Fellows (J.D.) of West Des Moines, Iowa; grandchildren: Benjamin Smith, Bethany Langer, Allison Johnston, Andrew Smith, Joseph Smith, Anna Smith, Thomas Smith, Morgan Fellows, Rebecca Ybarra, Hunter Fellows, and Cal Fellows; 6 great grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews and other relatives; numerous friends; and some very special chemo nurses and Allen Place Staffs who brought both comfort and compassion to Shirley during her recent experience with cancer.
Visitation will be held Wednesday, October 24, 2018, 5 to 7 p.m. with a prayer service to be held at 6:30 p.m., at the Roland Funeral Home in Atlantic.
Funeral services will be Thursday, October 25, 2018, 10:30 a.m. at the Brayton Lutheran Church in Brayton, Iowa. Burial will take place at 1:30 p.m. in the Maple Grove Cemetery in Audubon.
Roland Funeral Service is caring for Shirley’s family and her arrangements. Condolences may be left at www.rolandfuneralservice.com
