By far, the nicest lady I have ever met in my life! So full of life, always fun to be around for a game of Cards, loved everyone, wore her heart on her sleeve. Even when visiting a few times last week at Oshawa Palative Care ... always smiling and a heartfelt hug. Will be missed by everyone who ever met Ma! My Condolences to Tracy, Jimmy, Fred, Sharon and Family. 💕

There are so many wonderful memories to treasure...
Nothing got us more excited as kids to hear that we were heading to Aunty Shirley's farm for the day. Sometimes we would help out at harvest time and other times we would just stay close as the family worked long and hard at the stand. Afterwards we would all head inside and spend hours playing cards, eating great food and having so many laughs. But always it was Aunty Shirley's laughter that would be heard through it all - a bubbly, warm, happy woman that will always be missed. Be at peace god-mother. Your neice Chris

Auntie Shirley lit up the room with her wonderful smile and laugh. I have great memories that hold a special place in my heart. Many of them are of the card games at every family function. The giggles at Bingo and being able to pick any pumpkin I wanted. She will be remembered always and loved forever. Love Cheryl

Our thoughts are with your family during this very sad time. All who met Shirley were embraced by her fun loving nature. You could not walk away without a smile on your face, after spending time with her. With heavy hearts, she will most definitely be missed. xo
