She spent many summers at the family cabin at Lake Diefenbaker where people were always welcomed with open arms. Although there were many people in Shirley’s life, her grandchildren were always at the top of her list. She was blessed with seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren, Ryan, Andrea, Karli, Mitchell, Daniel, Avery, Clare, Taylor and Brooklynn. She trained as a nurse in Moose Jaw from 1958 to 1961 and then was employed for many years at both the Providence and Union Hospitals until her retirement in 1998. Even though retired, the nurse in Shirley never left her. Shirley was predeceased by her parents John and Ruth, her husband Roy, and her son Shaun. Flowers are gratefully declined.
