Shirley Ann Abrahamson, the daughter of Fred and Viola (Anderson) Abrahamson, was born August 4, 1926. She was the youngest of three children. She married her high school sweetheart, DeMar Meyer and together they raised four children and started Meyer Milk Transport in 1945. They celebrated life together for over 50 years before DeMar passed away. Shirley had the coffee on for her many friends and family. She was a great listener. She loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and it showed through the love she gave to all of her family. Reading and making afghans kept her busy. So much love went into the baby afghans she made. She later married Arlo Weimer. They were blessed to have 15 years together before Arlo passed away.
Shirley is survived by her loving family, Sandra (Hank) Bruns, Bonnie Grafing, Randie (Katie) Meyer and DeMarcie (Dean) Weimer; she was a big part of her eight grandchildren’s lives, 26 great-grandchildren and five great-great grandchildren; five nieces and their children.
Shirley was preceded in death by her parents, two husbands, two brothers, Jim and Arleigh and her son in law Gerry Grafing.
