Shirle J. Dieser, 85, of Austin, Minn., died on Friday, Dec. 13, 2013, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester.

Shirle was born in Austin on Sept. 18, 1928, to John Killian and Mary Catherine (Horbin) O’Shaughnessy. She attended school at St. Augustine and graduated from Pacelli High School. On July 27, 1957, Shirle married Adam P. Dieser, the love of her life. Together, they raised four children and danced together every week on date night. She loved to celebrate holidays but her favorite was St. Patrick’s Day because of her Irish heritage. She was very proud of her family’s accomplishments and her many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Shirle worked in the medical records office at St. Olaf Hospital for 27 years, retiring in 1995 as the director. She remained very close to the other women in the department, getting together twice a year for the past 18 years.

Shirle is survived by her children, Anne (Kenneth) Granle, of Mantorville, Minn.; Mark (Lisa) Dieser, of Rochester, Minn.; Karen O’Shaughnessy (Dennis Ross), of Wabasha, Minn.; Maureen (John) Dewey, of Stewartville, Minn.; grandchildren, Adam (Elizabeth) Kopsidas, Kenneth Granle Jr., Kendra Granle, Rebecca Dieser, John Dieser, Luke Dieser, Matthew (Beth) Dieser, Sam Fancher, Lukas Kaminsky, Shawn Trummer, Kelly Hoffman, Ian Dewey, Sheamus Dewey, Erin Dewey, Abigail Dewey; great-grandchildren, Illias Hemker-Kopsidas, Alexander Kopsidas, Kiana Hoffman, Aubri Hoffman, Skylr Hoffman.
