Hanson, Shirley Huberty age 92, born Sept. 6, 1925, died Mar. 23, 2018. Shirley was surrounded by her loved ones at Mother of Mercy Campus of Care in Albany, MN when she peacefully passed to her heavenly home. She is survived by Erling, her loving husband of 71 years, and daughters Sheila (Randy) Nilson, Rachele (Bob) Dagosta, Michele Hanson, son Joel (Jean), and grandchildren, Andy Johnson, Jake Johnson, Ben (Kerry) Johnson, Laura (Tim) Brueggemann, Angela, (Daniel) Hopson, Tim Dagosta, Chris Hanson, and Cybill Hanson, as well as numerous great-grandchildren, sister Patricia Ronayne, sister-in-law Joanne Huberty, and many nieces and nephews. Shirley was preceded in death by her parents, Irving and Maude Huberty, brother Peter, sister Theresa Huberty, brother-in-law Russ Ronayne, and son, Timothy. Shirley was born and raised in Le Sueur and after marrying moved to Minneapolis where she was employed by the former Marquette Bank until she retired to become a full-time mother and homemaker. The family lived in Hopkins for many years and then relocated to Grand Rapids, MI, Omaha, NE, and then back to Minnesota, where Shirley and her husband retired in Minnetonka before moving to Albany in 2015 to join the Mother of Mercy community. In her spare time, Shirley enjoyed playing bridge and vacationing in nearly every state throughout our beautiful country. She spent hours volunteering at 'Bridging' and was an active member of Pax Christi Catholic Church in Eden Prairie. A memorial will be planned at a future date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations go to BRIDGING bridging.org or to Pax Christi Catholic Church paxchristi.com/
