Shirley had a passion for music. She played the guitar and the piano, teaching many individuals for years. One of her many talents was her ability to yodel. She was the church organist for many years. Shirley loved Christmas. Truly, it never was quite Christmas until she played the bells on the organ at church. It is difficult to describe in words, but if you were fortunate enough to ever hear her play, it is something that was branded in your memory.

Shirley loved working in her garden and yard, getting several compliments for how manicured and beautiful it was kept. Shirley loved to ride horses and riding the range herding cattle with Ralph.

Shirley was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She held several callings, her favorite was being in the Stake YW Presidency and of course ward organist. Shirley served a mission, with her eternal companion Ralph, in 2000-2001; serving in the Nevada, Las Vegas West Mission.

She was preceded in death by her husband Ralph, mother Ella, father Marion, and stepfather George.

Shirley is survived by her children; Richard Haderlie (Cinda), Michael Haderlie (Ronda), Randy Haderlie (Charlotte), Laurie Martineau (Anthony), & Christopher and her brothers Reed (Shirley) and George Jr. (Beverly).
