Shirleen Mae Hammer was born Nov. 30, 1941, in Chester, SD, to Emil and Amanda (Eggebraaten) Hammer. She graduated from high school and got married the very next month to Robert Moeller in June of 1959.
They made their home on various farms around the Rutland/Flandreau areas. Shirleen worked on the farm while taking care of the three children that she and Robert had together.
When the kids were old enough to move out of the house, she started to work outside of the farm doing cleaning at T & R Electric in Colman. In 2002, Robert and she moved to Watertown where she continued to find cleaning jobs at various places around the Watertown area. She was able to retire from working in 2019.
In her spare time, she loved to do word games/finds and cooking/baking for her family.
