Shirley was born on July 1st, 1935 in Grama and Grampa Gee's house in Des Moines, Iowa to Alice and Ernest Fisher. Eventually Alice and Ernest moved with their family to Minnesota. In the early 1950's, Shirley married David Jagodzinski and moved to a farm in Silver Lake MN. Shirley and David adopted Todd in 1961. David passed away in 1968. Shirley and Todd moved to Hopkins MN. Shirley met Clyde Ostrander at a party hosted by Shirley's sister Barb on Birch Lake just northwest of Elk River. Shirley and Clyde married in 1970, remained in Hopkins and had their son Troy on New Year's Eve. In the next few years, Clyde's sons from a prior marriage joined the family and they outgrew the little Hopkins rambler. The family moved to the West side of Birch Lake in 1972. In 1979, Clyde and Shirley became the owners of Elk River Floral and it remains a family business to this day.
