Shirley Ann Sandver

She was a Mount Angel Academy graduate. Shirley met the love of her life, Ordin “Sandy” Sandver, on a blind date and they were married on her birthday in 1950. From then on she would call herself “Shirley Ann a little bit Miller Sandver.” She is survived by their six children: Sharen Hughes, Jerry (Donna) Sandver, Colleen Sandver, Dean (Beth) Sandver, Marilyn Armstrong and Doug Sandver. She is also survived by her sister, Patty Prather, and Patty’s son, Jim (Lindsey) Prather. Shirley has 11 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Shirley was preceded in death by her dear Sandy.

Shirley was a devout Catholic who belonged to Saint Joseph’s Church and never wavered in her commitment to God. She loved her family above all else and enjoyed cooking, crossword puzzles and gardening. On any given summer’s day, Shirley would enjoy hosting her family on her patio filled with her beautiful flower creations. She also enjoyed camping and fishing as often as she could.
