Shirley Ann Larson

In Loving Memory of Shirley Ann Larson, beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother & Friend

Shirley Ann Larson passed away peacefully surrounded by family. She was the devoted wife of Richard Larson for over 70 years.

Shirley was the proud mother of seven children: Debbie (Glenn) Disse, Betty Disse, Dennis Larson, Paul (Patty) Larson, Jill Larson (Marc), and Sherry (Rob) Kneifl. Her legacy continues through 23 grandchildren, 50 great-grandchildren, and 6 great-great-grandchildren and her sisters: Kathy, Annette and Bev.

She was preceded in death by her son, Ricky Lee Larson and her parents, Helen and Hank Vizenor and 2 siblings.

A woman of warmth and faith, Shirley welcomed everyone into her home—and always made sure they were fed. She found joy in quilting, baking, coffee, game shows, solitaire, mahjong, and feeding the birds outside her window. She especially cherished babies, family gatherings, and her church community.

She will be remembered for her open heart, strong faith, and the love she gave so freely.
