Shirley was born January 11, 1948 in Sidney Mt. to Clara and Reinhold (Micky) Wagner. She attended grade school in Froid Mt. and high school in Townsend and Helena Mt. On March 19, 1966 she was united in marriage to Roger Lassey. Of this union two children were born, son Ronald and daughter Rochelle. She remarried April 7, 1989 to Robert Grandlund.

Shirley was a country girl through and through. She enjoyed camping, fishing and hunting. She enjoyed riding horses and raising sheep. One of her many talents was gardening, cooking and canning the fruits of her labor. She enjoyed cooking a variety of foods but one of her favorite dishes was pigs in the blanket (cabbage rolls). She also loved to knit afghans and granny squares, which she made into pillow cases. She dearly loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren, who were often the topics of her conversation. She always had a caring heart and it showed in the pride she had caring for the residents of the Sunrise Manor in Savage. She was never at a loss for words and could carry on conversations for hours if need be. A talent she probably inherited from her grandfather.
