Shirley Barth
February 25, 1930 — June 20, 2024
Shirley M. Barth, age 94, passed away peacefully in the arms of our loving Savior on Thursday June 20, 2024, at Three Oaks Memory Care in Marshfield.
Shirley was born February 25, 1930 in Granton WI, the daughter of Raymond and Ardina (Helm) Nowack. She was a 1948 graduate of Granton High School. Shirley was united in marriage to Raymond Barth on August 28, 1948. The couple farmed until 1952 when Raymond enlisted into service with the Navy. Shirley followed him to Norfolk, VA and San Pedro, CA as a military wife. Upon his discharge in 1956, they returned home and farmed together in the towns of York and Lynn until 1976 when they sold the farm and built their home in the village of Granton. They enjoyed couples bowling, fishing, camping, and playing cards with their many friends.
Shirley managed the Clark County Sportsman’s Club, served as Treasurer on the Village Board, and worked 26 years as a Cook for the Granton School District. She was a member of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Granton and previously served on the Cemetery Committee.
Shirley took great joy in many things. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She always put them before herself. She loved to bake and never did you visit without taking goodies home. She also loved writing in her journals, crossword and jigsaw puzzles, gardening, and feeding the birds, especially her cardinals.
Shirley is survived by her sons, both of Marshfield, Gary Barth and Tom (Anita) Barth. Four grandchildren, Amanda (Michael) Janssen, Trevor (Haley) Barth, Alissa (Jordan) Stuart, and Makayla Barth. Great-grandchildren, Porter & Cooper Janssen, Nora & Hank Barth, and Levi Stuart. Two sisters-in-law, Marjorie Barth and Mae Revak. And her beloved nieces and nephews.
Shirley was preceded in death by her husband, Raymond, her parents, sister and brother-in-law: Laura (Ralph) Riedel; sister-in-law Norma Vandenbergen and husband Harold, and brothers-in-law, Robert and Jim Barth.
The family wishes to thank her wonderful neighbors who always watched out for her and lent a helping hand. Also, Three Oaks Memory Care and Heartland Hospice for all their care and services.
A Celebration of Life will be held September 14 th, 2024 from 1-4 PM at the American Legion in Neillsville.
Cremation Society of Wisconsin, Altoona is assisting the family. Online condolences may be shared at www.cremationsociety-wi.com .
