Shirley Ann Halama, 61, passed away September 2, 2022, from breast cancer.

Shirley was born the daughter of Edward and Donna Mae Halama. She graduated from Ss. Peter and Paul grade school and went on to graduate from Independence High School in 1979. Shirley dedicated her life to helping people. After Shirley graduated from Palmer College Chiropractic in Davenport, IA, she moved to Green Bay. In Green Bay, Shirley worked full-time as a nurses aid and part-time as a chiropractor (Advantage Chiropractic Clinic). Shirley also volunteered to help Hmong children learn how to swim. Eventually, Shirley started her own chiropractic business. She went to people’s homes and treated her patients. Shirley also ordered shoes for the Amish people because they did not have computers. Shirley stood up for what she believed in and fiercely fought breast cancer to the very end.

Shirley is survived by her mother, Donna Mae Halama; two sisters: Darlene and Beverly; two brothers: David (Faye) and Gary; and a nephew, Brendin Larson. She was preceded in death by her father, Edward.
