Shirley Ann Otteman, a daughter of Lou and Pauline (Leitz) Otteman, was born in Storm Lake, Iowa, on July 9, 1936. Having lived her youth in Albert City, she graduated from Albert City High School in 1955. On December 15, 1962, she married Darrell Jon Musgjerd at the St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Newell. Their union was, subsequently, blessed with three children: Vickie, Stacy, and Kent. Following their wedding, they lived in Albert City. Then, Darrell’s employment as a regional sales manager with the Celotex company took the family to various locations in Minnesota and Texas. Later, however, they returned to Albert City to make their home. A devoted and loving wife and mother, Shirley invested her life into making a home for her family. A faithful member of the Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Albert City, she attended services on a regular basis. Her favorite pastimes included listening to country music, reading, and crocheting.
