Shelby enjoyed trips to the Wisconsin State Fair, Brewers games, and spending time with her family at the Fischer Family Farm during deer hunting season. She truly enjoyed her trips with Dennis to Branson, MO.
As you may know, she loved to socialize with her many friends and family at the Washington Inn, drinking brandy and waters. She even was given the permission to do the early “kitchen door sneak in” at 3:45 pm and control the tv remotes. This left her becoming more than just Shelby but “Ma”, “Mom” and “Grandma” to so many. In 2012, she became special friends with Jerry Temple, in her many visits to the Washington Inn. They then enjoyed their time together camping at Portfield and Hodag Country Festivals, in addition to their time spent at the Washington Inn.
Shelby was a beloved mom, grandma, great-grandma, sister, auntie, and friend to so many. She always greeted you with open arms and a loving smile.
She is survived by a sister, Mary Ellen (nee Gunderson) (Roy) Fischer, daughter-in-law, Sally Bahr (Fianceé Kevin Schneidewend), grandchildren: Jesse (Amber) Bahr, Katie Bahr, and great-niece, “granddaughter”, Desi (Cody) Owen, great-grandchildren: Jadyn and Jackson Bahr, sisters-in-law: Verna Brusewitz and Diana Bahr, many nieces and nephews, Jerry’s sons: Todd and Troy Temple, and beloved pets, Maggie, Cinder, Pepe, Jack and her favorite, Bella.
Shelby is preceded in death by her husband, Dennis, son, Jeff, special friend, Jerry Temple, father and mother, Alfred and Alta Gunderson, brother James Gunderson, father-in-law and mother-in-law, Paul and Edna Bahr, brothers-in-law and sister-in-law: Roger Bahr, Danny Brusewitz, Dave and Erna Bahr.
