Shirley passed away April 11, 2009 at Tabatha Hospice Care Center, Lincoln, Nebraska after courageously battling non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma for a third time in nine years.
Shirley was born February 7, 1927 at Auburn, NE, to Alba and Ida (Farnsworth) Mobley. At a young age the family moved to Crawford where Shirley attended grade school and graduated from Crawford High School in 1944.
After graduation she went to California and worked in Hollywood Studios, became homesick and returned to meet and marry Jess Wasserburger May 23, 1948. To this union three children were born, Richard (Jake), Kim and Susan.
Shirley was a ranch wife and mother only to pull up stakes and move to town in 1966. At this time she became a dental assistant for several years before becoming Crawford’s first water commissioner, which she held until life changes in 1981.
In 1981, she moved to Lincoln as an ATO (Alpha Tau Omega) House Mother. Her housemother job touched many young men’s lives for 28 years. Mom thoroughly enjoyed following all of her children’s and grandchildren’s and ATO boy’s school activities and sports and guiding them through life--a job she did so well.
Shirley was an active bowler, golfer, and loved to travel – Germany, Canada, Hawaii, Alabama and Arizona and lastly Alaska. She surely enjoyed visiting with family and friends and the ATO Alums that would stop in and see her before and after Husker Games. “Mom” as she was known by her ATO Family and on her license plate, rarely went anywhere that she didn’t run into someone she knew.
