Shirley Ann Jasperson

Shirley Ann (nee: Malvasio) Jasperson, age 84, passed away peacefully on December 8, 2025 with her children by her side. Shirley was born on January 15, 1941 in Manitowoc, WI. She lived there until she was 8 years old, then her family moved to Eagle Lake, WI and later Burlington WI. As an adult, Shirley lived in Racine, Sturtevant and Mt Pleasant, WI. On February 28, 1976, Shirley was united in marriage to the love of her life, Jack Jasperson. He preceded her in death on August 8, 2024. During their 48 years of marriage, they created countless memories with their children, grandchildren, family and friends. Jack and Shirley loved to get in their car and “just go for a ride and grab something to eat”. One of their favorite places to go for dinner was The Stage Stop in Wilmot, WI. They also enjoyed traveling together. Their trip to Hilton Head. SC was by far, their most memorable trip. Jack and Shirley both talked about that trip often and about how they walked the beach one morning at 2am when the tide was low. Shirley worked for J.I. Case company as an office cleaner and then worked for the Mt. Pleasant Police and Fire Department. She worked for the Village of Mt. Pleasant from September 1973 until her retirement in July 2006. She started her 33-year career as a dispatcher working 2nd shift and worked her way up to becoming the Administrative Assistant/Office and Court Administrator, overseeing the dispatchers and ensuring the office ran smoothly on a daily basis. She also worked the Municipal Court every Wednesday night at the Village Town Hall. When Shirley started as a dispatcher, 911 was not used yet, as that didn’t become the standard until years after she started. One experience Shirley had that she said she would never forget was the night the Dalmatian dog that lived at the Fire House went into labor and had her puppies under her desk. Shirley was very proud of her career and made many lifelong friendships there. She was an avid bowler who bowled for many years in various women’s leagues, couple’s leagues and attended countless Wisconsin State Bowling Tournaments. Shirley loved to read and Danielle Steele was one of her favorite authors. She owned a copy of every single book that Ms. Steele ever wrote. Shirley was a stylish dresser and she never left the house without looking her best. She loved to shop, especially for clothes, antiques and home décor. Her home was always decorated for whatever holiday or season it was. More than anything, Shirley loved spending time with her family. Christmas Eve was her favorite and all of her grandchildren have great memories of going to Boppa and Gramma J’s house on “The Eve”. Very rarely, up until a few years ago, did she ever miss a family function. She was preceded in death by her husband Jack; son Thomas Scott Andreasen; son-in-law Ken Schiedemeyer; parents, Frank and Ethel Malvasio; siblings, Mary, Frank and Jennie along with other family members and dear friends. Shirley will be deeply missed by her children, Terri Schiedemeyer; Steve (Jennifer) Andreasen; Jack Jasperson: her grandchildren, Petra, Bryce (Savannah), Kyle (Aubrey), Bailey (Alex) Jacob, Sarah, and Tyler; her siblings, Peter (late Wendy), Bill (Cathy), Andy (Audrey), and Susan (John); her siblings-in-law Janet (Gary), Carole, and Jerry along with many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. A memorial service honoring Shirley’s life will be held at Sturino Funeral Home Wednesday, December 17, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. with Pastor Beth Ann Stone officiating. Visitation will be held from 3:00 p.m. until the time of service. Steve and Terri would like to thank The Congregational Home in Brookfield along with Legacy Hospice for all of the care, compassion and love that you showed Shirley during her time with you. We will be forever grateful. We will all miss you so much Mom/Gramma J. Please watch over us, we love you.
