Shirley Littrel
Shirley Ann Littrel was born on December 21, 1936 to Edward and Lydia (Hein) Sinner in the family farm house southwest of Culbertson, Nebraska. She attended school in Culbertson and graduated from Culbertson High School.
Shirley married Roy Littrel on March 25, 1956 in her parents’ home in Wauneta, Nebraska. She and Roy made their home on the Littrel Family Farm, 5 miles south of Hamlet, Nebraska, for several years before moving to a rented farm about 5 miles southwest of Palisade, Nebraska. The couple farmed near Palisade, Nebraska until they moved to Wauneta, Nebraska; where they have made their home since. Shirley was employed by Thomas Propane and Appliance Company when she first moved to Wauneta. Later she worked with Roy as custodians at the Wauneta Public Schools. In her later years, she was employed at Heritage of Wauneta where all of the residents and co-workers were like her extended family.
Shirley was confirmed in the German Congregational Church in Culbertson, Nebraska and was later baptized and attended the Church of Christ in Wauneta, Nebraska. She liked to cook for her family, sew, knit and crochet. She enjoyed working in the garden and in her yard. She enjoyed fishing and looked forward to special outings with her sister and nieces.
