Knutson, Shirley Aileen (Ohman) age 95, residing at Lyngblomsten's in St Paul, passed away unexpectedly but peace-fully Tuesday, July 18. She was born in Milaca, Minnesota in 1922, and grew up in Ogilvie and Minneapolis. Shirley met her husband, Clarence, shortly after the war. They married in 1948 and lived a railroad career with the Soo Line moving from Minneapolis to Drake, Bismarck, Thief River Falls, now with three kids, and then back to the Twin Cities. Shirley's clever mind and dry sense of humor were enjoyed by many. She was a home maker for many years but also worked at McQuay, FHA, and Social Security. Shirley had a sense of adventure and after retirement, traveled to many countries and states, learned how to swim and took up golf. She was also a ruthless card player and enjoyed bridge to her last day - literally. Shirley was preceded in death by parents, Rudolph and Maude Ohman; husband, Clarence; son, Douglas; sisters, Lucille, Mariel, and Harriett. She is survived by daughter, Susan; son, Craig (Kathy); daughter-in-law, Donna; grandchildren, David, Eric (Megan), Kristian, and Conor; great-grand daughter, Ruthie. Memorial services will be at Neman Benson Chapel, 1415 Almond Avenue, Saint Paul, Minnesota Sunday, July 23, 2017 at 4:00 P.M. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to mygooddays.org
