Obituary Overview
Shirley Anne Ward
Ward, Shirley Anne
(July 4, 1935 – January 2, 2018)
It is with great sadness that we announce that Shirley Anne (nee Horricks) Ward passed away peacefully at her home. She was predeceased by her parents, Charles and Katherine Horricks, her husband James Ward and her grandson Jeffrey Ward. Shirley is lovingly remembered by her children Kathy (Garry) Taron, Patty (Doug) Pedersen, Brad (Joan) Ward and Barb (Jim) Purkiss; grandchildren Meghan (Derek), Karly (Adam), Lance (Jillian), Jennifer (Colin), Shane (Dena), Rebecca (Corey), Amanda (Mark) and Jamie (Devin) and great-grandchildren Taryn, Whitney, Jaxon, Cash, Hendrix, Oliver, Wilder, Brielle, Remi and Griffin.
Shirley grew up with a love of the farm and spent many days with her cousins who were like her brothers and sisters. Once married, Shirley devoted her time to her family and was chauffer extraordinaire, driving children to and from sports, dance and piano. When she was relaxing it was at the cabin at Long Lake. After her husband Jim’s death, Shirley loved to travel with her Tall Girl co-workers for business and enjoyed vacations and cruises with her family. She loved discussing news, politics and solving crossword puzzles. She was an amazing community volunteer, for many years with the United Church Women (UCW).
To honor her wishes, interment and a private family gathering for her children grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be held.
We are grateful for your thoughts and prayers. Memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Lung Foundation or a charity of your choice.
