Born March 29, 1922, in Manning, Iowa, she was a daughter of the late Basil Hay and Evelyn Day. She was also predeceased by her stepparents, Mildred Hay and Lyle Day, her half-sister Elizabeth (Day) Shaw, and her daughter-in-law Karen (Podey) Mosman. A 1938 graduate of Glidden High School, she was a near lifelong and very proud resident of Glidden, a town and its people she greatly loved. Shirley enjoyed her position as the keeper of local traditions and history, and maintained a trove of personal and WWI memorabilia from her late uncle, Merle Hay.

Shirley was an active member of United Methodist Church in Glidden and an avid supporter of Merle Hay American Legion Post 386 Auxiliary and the National Honor Society. Until she left Glidden for Omaha in 2014, she was very involved with the United Methodist Women, Entre Nous, Bridge and Birthday Clubs. She especially enjoyed collecting "black glass" and figurines. Shirley traveled extensively throughout the United States as well as Europe and the Caribbean but always felt most at home in Glidden. Perhaps her greatest pleasure was simply having the ladies "over for cake and coffee" and a game of cards.

Shirley is survived by her son, Craig Mosman (and his friend Jean Padilla) of Omaha; her daughter Marla (and her husband John) Gershkoff of Austin, Texas, grandsons Connor Mosman and Michael and Nicholas Benton; and great-granddaughters Hailey and Sophia Benton. She leaves behind many friends and extended family.
