      Shirley Elaine (Bass) Hasheider

      SAUK CITY-Shirley Elaine (Bass) Hasheider, of rural Sauk City, was born April 17, 1926, to Floyd K. and Irene L. (Kleiner) Bass in the Town of Sumpter. Their family moved to the Town of Troy in March 1942 after being evicted from their Sumpter home by the Badger Army Ordnance Works. Shirley attended Kern's Corner School, then graduated from Prairie du Sac High School in 1943. She worked at the Badger Army Ordnance Works until her marriage to Howard C. Hasheider on June 2, 1945. To this union six children were born. Shirley was a member of Black Hawk- Bethlehem United Methodist Church. She taught Sunday school, was a 4-H leader, a member of the Little Prairie Homemakers, was the church secretary for over 20 years, and belonged to the United Methodist Women of the Black Hawk Church.

      A 49-year cancer survivor, Shirley was a great encouragement to many community members who faced medical challenges. She liked to garden, raise flowers, bake cookies and care for grandchildren. Shirley passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by family, on Feb. 23, 2021. A memorial service will be held later this year.

      Surviving are her six children, Leila Shenk, Ilene (Dale) LaCount, Neal (Vicky) Hasheider, Philip (Mary) Hasheider, Bruce Hasheider, and Edith (Craig) Vitale; 11 grandchildren, Alita (Kevin), Reade, Brent (Catherine), Bart (Brynn), Rachael (Marty), Marcus (Paige), Julia (Victor), Robert (Brenda), Heidi (Josh), Amy (Drew) and Andrea (Anthony); and 11 great-grandchildren.

      She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Howard (March 1979); grandson, David; son-in-law, Jerome Shenk; brother and sister-in-law, Harlan and Hazel Bass; and brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Merle and Lucy Hasheider.
