Shirley Amelia Gil Woodman
June 26, 1935 – October 9, 2020
Passed peacefully away at St. Pat’s Mercy Home, in the presence of her loving family on Friday, October 9, 2020, Shirley Woodman of New Harbour, aged 85 years.
Predeceased by parents, James and Ada Williams; husband, Charles; brother, Don; and sister, Alma.
Leaving to mourn and celebrate her life are her children: daughter, Sandra; two sons, James (Brenda) and Wayne (Robin); foster daughter, Mary Young; seven grandchildren: Amanda, Tracy-Lynn (David) Goosney, Cathy (Ryan) Caines, Hector Woodman (Stephanie Linthorne), Heather (Johnny) Lewis, Megan, and Corey; seven great-grandchildren: Jane, Amelia, Rivers, Jack, Sawyer, Julia, and Claire; brother, Jasper (Florence); sisters, Ivy and Bea; as well as a number of other relatives and many friends.
Over the years, she was a wonderful wife and mother, substitute teacher, member of the ACW, and a great cook, both for her family and the students of Woodland Junior High. She lovingly handcrafted quilts which are now treasured by family and friends. She was a kind and gentle person, who helped anyone who needed it. She was pure of heart and spirit and a great role model for anyone fortunate enough to know her. Indeed she so loved children, lighting up each time she saw her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Cremation has taken place.
Due to the restrictions of Covid-19, the visitation and service to celebrate Shirley’s life will be private.
Our family would like to thank the staff at St. Pat’s Mercy Home for the care they have given her these past two years.

Funeral arrangements entrusted to Warren’s Funeral Home, Dildo.
