Shirley was born on a farm near Medora, Iowa. She was the eighth of thirteen children born to Claren and Julia Stalter. She had an amazing work ethic and a servant's heart.

One of our favorite stories was during a blizzard in Indianola, she was picked up on a snowmobile so she could typeset the Record-Herald and Indianola Tribune and meet the press deadline.

Shirley enjoyed many hobbies including sewing, quilting, knitting, crocheting, and cooking. She would stop whatever she was doing to rescue family members needing a zipper or hem put in. She would gladly make cookies or bars for children's school parties or work events. She loved entertaining family and friends and was well known for her wonderful potato salad, ham balls, cavatelli, homemade pizza, and brownies, "vrownies," to her grandkids. She loved teaching her children and grandchildren songs that still bring smiles to their faces.

She was united in marriage to Doyle Eugene Bishop, Jr. on October 26, 1955, in Indianola, Iowa, and to this union, three children were born. After the passing of her first husband, Doyle, on November 4, 2004, Shirley remarried, Delmer Kalbus, on April 15, 2006.
