Shirley Alice Brewer, the daughter of Enan and Carrie (Bolles) Mizer, was born August 26, 1931, in rural Anthon, Iowa. She grew up in the Anthon, Oto, and Correctionville areas. Shirley graduated from Correctionville High School with the class of 1950. Upon graduating from high school, Shirley moved to Omaha, NE and worked for Mutual of Omaha.

On July 23, 1955, Shirley was united in marriage to Elton Brewer in Correctionville, IA. The couple was blessed with eight children: Melody, Lynn, Paul, Timothy, Sharon, Dan, Amy, and Steve. The family lived in the Omaha, Battle Creek, Lawton and Sioux City areas before eventually settling in Pierson, IA in 1971.
