Shirley was born in Saskatoon SK on November 23, 1930. She graduated from nursing at St. Paul's hospital in Saskatoon. She worked as a nurse at St. Michaels Hospital and the Lethbridge Auxiliary Hospital.

Mom took great pride in her flower gardens. Planting and growing her flowers was her passion and she looked forward to getting out into the garden every spring. She also loved to play bridge and was involved in many different bridge clubs over the years.

The family would like to thank the nursing staff of unit 4C who provided such wonderful care to mom for the past few months. In addition, we would also like to thank Dr. Gibb and the palliative care doctors who cared for her.

As per mom's wishes, no service will be held.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to YWCA Harbour House, 604 - 8 Street South, Lethbridge AB, T1J 2K1.
