Shirlein Vetter Obituary
Shirlein Cathrine Vetter, 73, Bismarck, went to heaven unexpectedly on Dec. 19, 2019, at CHI St. Alexius Hospital surrounded by her family. Mass of Christian burial will be held 10:30 a.m. Monday, Dec. 23, at Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, Bismarck. Visitation will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday at Parkway Funeral Home, 2330 Tyler Parkway, Bismarck. Rosary/vigil service will begin at 7 p.m. Interment will be at St. Marys Cemetery.
Shirlein was born in Harvey on Jan. 19, 1946, to John and Mary Eva (Eisenzimmer) Bichler. On June 2, 1962, she married the love of her life, Victor Vetter. They made their home in Minot and moved to Bismarck in the early 70's. Shirlein was a loving stay-at-home mom for many years, until the mid-70's, when she went to work at Q&R Clinic. She later found her career as a successful Realtor in the Bismarck/Mandan area, as well as being co-owner of Dakota Country Munchies.
Her Catholic faith was a very important aspect of her life. She was a long-time member of the World Apostolate of Fatima and devout member of the Catholic Daughters. Shirlein was also a member of Cathedral of the Holy Spirit and treasured her hours spent in the Adoration Chapel.
Her greatest role in life was being a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her family was her greatest treasure.
Shirlein will be deeply missed by her husband Victor; children Kimberly (Gary) Neigum, Kristina (Glenn) Jackson, Karen Iglehart, Katrina (Roger) Miller, Kelsey (Laura) Vetter; 18 grandchildren; and 16 great-grandchildren; sisters Marie Straley, Virginia (John) Ripplinger, Veronica Gores, Beverly Bichler, Debra (Jacques) Boucher; sister-in-law Marcy Bichler; and brother Henry Bichler.
She is preceded in death by her parents and brothers Raymond Bichler and Carl Michael Bichler.
