Obituary of Shirley Smith
Smith, Shirley Ann
(Sept 06,1928-Oct 08,2017)
Passed away on Sunday, October 8, 2017 at the age of 89 years.
Shirley was born in Pembroke September 6,1928 to Harry Stewart and Janet Isobel
Smith. After high school, Montreal became her home. She was employed by Ayerst-
McKenna Pharmaceutical Company in Montreal all her adult life until she retired. Shirley
never married. She loved travel and made many trips with friends to Europe, Egypt,
Israel, Florida and Alaska. Photography was important to her and picture-taking became
a way of her life. She had an artistic ability in creating beautiful, hand-made greetingcards
from flower-petals, leaves, the needles from pine and cedar and other sundry
treasures she collected from the forest. She sent these to friends at Christmas time and
other special occasions. Shirley enjoyed people and had a unique capacity for remembering names and particular happenings in her friends’ lives. Her memory for detail was extraordinary; no
remote personal fact was lost to her. Vacations to the family cottage on Morrison’s
Island and visits with her family in Thunder Bay were frequent and brought her much
enjoyment. After her retirement, Pembroke again became her home when she moved
back to Centre Street to help look after her widowed mother.
Later on, she became a resident of Marian Hill Nursing Home until her death.
She is survived by her brother Dr Harry James Smith and his wife Sherley-Ann, Thunder
Bay and their blended family: Sons Harry (Kate) Vancouver; Antony Nanaimo; Michael
(Lillian) Thunder Bay; Daryl (Diane) Winnipeg and Daughters: Sarah (Dan) Huntsville;
Cindy (Noel) UK and Grandchildren: Jake, Zachary, Mathieu and Ciara.
She was predeceased by her parents, Harry and Isobel, nephews Nicholas and
Domonic, and niece Rebecca
