Shirley Ann Tieman was born on August 24, 1927, in the Town of Butler on the home farm, the daughter of Charles and Helen (Culp) Tieman. She was raised on the family farm and received her elementary education in the Butler area, and graduated from Greenwood High School in 1945. Shirley was united in marriage to Theron Pagel on May 25, 1946, at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Thorp. They later divorced.

She worked for many years at Blue Moon Cheese in Thorp, later Foremost, and then purchased the Long Branch Bar west of Thorp on Hwy. 29. She continued to work at Foremost for a short time while operating the bar, until retiring and running the Long Branch full-time. She retired from the bar in the late 1990's and leased it to Koot & Frannie, finally selling it to them in 2005. She resided in Thorp until entering Oakbrook Nursing & Rehab in June of 2009.

She was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, and had many interests, including antiques, going to auctions, her flower gardens, garage sales, casinos, cooking and socializing.

Shirley is survived by one brother: Jerome (Lois) Tieman of Loyal; four sisters: Arlene Martinson of Union Grove, Joyce Washburn of Carmel, IN, Alice Kennedy of Loyal, Linda Disch of Lake Mills; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents and three brothers: Ronald Tieman, Gaylond Tieman and a brother in infancy.
