Shirley Ann (Daniels) Meiers, 85, of Missoula, Mont., passed away Sunday, June 7, 2020, at her home.

Private graveside services will be held with family.

Shirley was born July 20, 1934, in Poplar, Mont., to Harry and Marie Daniels. She was the youngest child of five.

She attended Fort Benton High School. Before she graduated, she was united in marriage to Duane Meiers in 1951. Their union lasted 65 years. They raised four children: Cindy (Ron) Bishop, Duane (Dana) Meiers, Robert (Jill) Meiers and Michael (Becky) Meiers.

She spent most of her life owning and working in restaurants as a short order cook and waitressing. She loved spending time with her family during the holidays, preparing meals and playing cards. She really loved to crochet and as her eyesight failed, she continued her passion.

She was preceded in death by her husband; infant son; her parents; one sister, Edna; and two brothers, Art and Bill.

She is survived by her four children; 12 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; and one brother, Leroy Daniels.
