On Thursday, April 24, 2018 Shirley passed away at the Sturgeon Community Hospital with her family by her side.
Don and Shirl met in Comox, B.C, married in the RCAF Base Chapel in 1960, travelled across Canada from coast to coast to coast, alone but together. Along the way they raised two wonderful children, Bill on the west coast and Deianna (Alan) in Ottawa. They made their final move to Alberta to the CFS Beaverlodge.
Shirley will be missed by her granddaughters, Melissa and Megan (Zach); sister, Anne Lloyd and brother, Stewart (Jean) Elder; brother-in-law, Terry (Audrey) Goodman; and by many other relatives and friends.
As per Shirley’s wishes, no service will be held. Cremation has taken place.
I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God laid for me, I took His hand
When I heard him call. I turn my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day. To laugh,
to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone
must stay that way. I found that peace at the close
of the day. If my parting has left a void then
fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh,
a kiss. And yes these things I will will miss. Be not
burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of
tomorrow. My life’s been full. I savored much, Good friends,
good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed
all brief; Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief;
Lift your heart and share with me, God wanted me now.
He set me free…..
Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Shirley E Goodman Maiden Elder of St. Albert
