March 18, 1934 – July 18,1924
In loving memory
On July 18, 2024, Shirley (Sherri) Russell, 90 years young, passed away peacefully at home with family at her side. Sherri was predeceased by her parents Theresa and Elliot and brother Peter Russell and is survived by her children Chris (Sharon) and Susan Meg (Joe) and her grandchildren Michael (Richelle), Andrew (Kaela), and Kevin (Christina) and many relatives and friends who dearly loved her as she did love them.
Born in Montreal Sherri grew up in Charlottetown PEI before moving back to the city. With her then husband Bill raised their 2 children in various parts of eastern Canada and Europe until she moved to Toronto in the ‘70’s where she lived out her years. Toronto was where she flourished. She discovered the women’s movement and her innate ability as an activist, and became an engaged community member in her St Lawrence Neighborhood. Throughout her life Sherri’s entrepreneurial skills led her to persue several businesses in baking, ex-offender programs, theatre and real estate. She engaged in many creative pursuits as well, among them short story writing, fine art, and the Raging Grannies.
Sherri’s dynamic presence filled a room. Her infectious smile and enthusiasm engaged all those she crossed paths with. She never shied away from a good discussion or a political debate.
Family was extremely important to her. Her son worked diligently in partnership to allow her continued independence, for independence was vital to her being, while her daughter assisted in other ways from across the country. Huge thanks to Hyatt for her dedicated and loving years of care.
As the matriarch she held gracious command at the raucous and fun-filled family gatherings. She leaves big shoes to fill as her social grace, humour and original ideas made events and gatherings happen. We will dearly miss our mother, Tita (grandmother) and friend. Love you forever Mom.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Toronto Humane Society would be welcomed
There will be a small Celebration of Life Saturday August 10, 3-5 pm at 9th floor common room at 31 Princess St. for family and friends.
