Sheyrel was born April 13, 1944, to Ralph and Myrtle (Beste) Wiebelhaus in Yankton, S.D. She grew up on the family farm and attended country school at Golden Prairie School just a few miles from home. She graduated from Laurel High School in Laurel, Neb. Sheyrel worked at the Cedar County Court House for a few years while Jim served in the U. S. Army.

On Feb. 22, 1966, Sheyrel was united in marriage with James Kramer in Laurel, Neb. They then started a family in Sioux Falls, S.D. Five years later, the family moved to Sioux City. Sheyrel provided day care in their home for many years while her kids were growing up. Later in life, she was a loyal and dedicated employee for her employers with Sioux City Ford being her last employer prior to retirement.

Sheyrel was a long-time member of the Mater Dei Parish Nativity Church. She had a great love of horses and enjoyed riding. In her leisure time, she enjoyed gardening around her house, attending the activities for her children and grandchildren. Most of all, she loved her family and all holiday gatherings.
