Shirley was born and raised in Edmonton and remained in Edmonton her entire life. She was the eldest of six siblings. Shirley married her husband Joe in 1963 and soon after bought their first house, which would become their forever home. Shirley was a loving and gracious woman. She and Joe opened their home and hosted numerous family dinners over the years. Everyone loved Joe’s chicken soup which featured Shirley’s homemade noodles. She made delicious deserts that were always a favorite of the family. Shirley and Joe enjoyed travelling by car and would make driving trips to Nova Scotia (one of her favorite places) to see family, as well as drive to Laughlin, Nevada where she would love to shop for clothes for her much loved and treasured grandkids.
She was predeceased by her parents John Slaunwhite and Ida Slaunwhite and brother Redge Slaunwhite. She is survived by her siblings, Don Slaunwhite (Dianne), Ken Slaunwhite, Joan Slaunwhite (Len) and Lorrie Pheasey; and her cousin Ellen Gray, as well as her sister-in-law Maria (Stanko) Magdic and numerous nieces and nephews.
