Shirley was a kind, caring, selfless wife, mother and grandmother who dedicated her life to the ones she loved. A one-of-a-kind soul who brought so much happiness and joy to the lives of her family and friends. To be loved by her was a true blessing felt by all. The family is deeply saddened by the unexpected loss. We will always carry her memory in our hearts and be forever grateful for the time we had together.
