Shirley was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She was a generous soul who spent decades volunteering with the Cancer Society and numerous other charities. She was an active member of the Aldergrove United Church. Shirley was an avid crafter with a special talent for sewing and crocheting - she was often found with yarn in hand no matter where she went. She was a vibrant, funny, and caring woman who was always willing to give her time to others.
Shirley's Celebration of Life took place at 11:00a.m. on Wednesday, October 14, 2020 at Providence's Summerland Chapel, 13205 Rosedale Ave., Summerland, BC.
