Shirley loved nothing more than traveling to watch and cheer on her boys in all of their sports endeavours. And there were many. They were the light of her life, always and forever.
Shirley loved her community and was often found at the club house playing any and all kinds of card games. Years ago; golf, her poker and euchre groups were always enjoyed with Ken and friends.
Shirley will be deeply missed be her family and all that knew her. She was a true gem, full of love and compassion for everyone.
Our heartfelt thanks to Dr Orava and the amazing team at Hospice Simcoe, Barrie. You made her last days feel so cared for.
As per Shirleys wishes, cremation has taken place, and the family will gather to honour her.
If desired, a memorial donation in her honour to Hospice Simcoe would be lovely and greatly appreciated by the family.
