Shirley was born in Avoca, Iowa to Rhinhardt and Hilda (Rock) Krummel. She grew up on the family farm, where it was her job to feed the chickens, something she thoroughly disliked.
Shirley attended school in Avoca and graduated from Avoca High School in 1963. As a young girl, Shirley enjoyed playing with paper dolls; was active in 4-H and enjoyed church trips. Shirley graduated from the Jennie Edmundson School of Nursing as a Registered Nurse on March 13, 1966, she later returned to school at UNO to receive her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing.
Shirley married Earl “Bud” Lang on October 22, 1966 at Trinity Lutheran church in Avoca, Iowa and they were blessed with two sons: Greg and Chris. Shirley later married Ernie Fritz on May 29, 1993 at their home in Elkhorn Nebraska. Shirley called several towns home in Iowa before moving to Omaha in 1990, then Elkhorn before returning to Council Bluffs after Ernie passed away.
Shirley worked in nursing at the Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown, Jennie Edmonson in Council Bluffs, and retired from Veteran’s Hospital in Omaha. She enjoyed travelling, dancing, playing cards and board games but she treasured family functions. Shirley was a hard-working single mom with a good sense of humor and an out-going, caring personality. She enjoyed 50’s music, TV game shows and Sudoku puzzles. Shirley savored anything sweet (especially Carrot Cake), a cold diet coke and eating out, one of her favorites was Caniglia’s.
