Shirley was born on Nov. 16, 1936, in Luverne, Minn., to Richard and Mildred (Beelmann) Bruining. She received her schooling at Cathedral High School in Sioux Falls, S.D., graduating with the class of 1955.

Shirley married John J. Farley on June 7, 1960, in Sioux Falls. The family lived in Sioux City from 1966 until 2000, when they moved to Beresford, S.D., until 2011. From then on, the family has called Sioux City home. She was proud to call herself a homemaker, raising her children and being a wife to John. She worked briefly outside the home at Target in the early 1980s until her retirement.

Shirley enjoyed her membership in Catholic Daughters of the Americas along with various committees within the church.

Shirley is survived by her children, Lawrence (Kelle) Farley of South Sioux City, Michael (Paula) Farley of Omaha, Patricia (Clark) Tibboel of Sioux City, and MaryAnn Farley of Sioux City; grandchildren, Stephanie and David Farley of South Sioux City, and Davis and Cooper Farley of Omaha; great-grandchildren, Jamison Farley of Sioux City, and Izabel Farley of South Sioux City; brother, Dale (Pat) Bruining of Sioux Falls; and sisters, Arlene of Sioux Falls, and Cheryl of Omaha.

Shirley was preceded in death by her parents; husband, John; one brother; one sister; and several nieces and nephews.

Shirley’s family would like to offer a special thank you to the Bickford family for their care and compassion.

Memorials are requested to be offered to the Alzheimer’s Association in Shirley’s name
