Shirley Crowell
1931-2019
It is with much sadness that we are announcing the passing
of Shirley, wife of Bill Crowell and mother of Gail Carroll.
She passed away at the Dr. V. A. Snow Centre on July 18th at 4:30 a.m.
She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great
grandmother and will be missed by all that personally knew
her. Shirley was a loving and caring person who loved to
take care of others and after a short battle with cancer peacefully
moved on.
Shirley is survived by her loving husband, Bill
Crowell, only daughter Gail Carroll (Jim), 3 Grandchildren, Tyler
Carroll of Edmonton, AB; Amanda Clare (Steven) of Edmonton,
AB; Dayna Carroll (Nadim Zaidi) of Montreal, PQ; only Great
Grandchild Maya Zaidi of Montreal; several Nieces, Nephews, Great
Nieces and Great Nephews; Sister-in-laws, and
Brother-in-laws. She loved family and extended family very
much and her face just lit up at the mention of her Great-Grandchild,
Maya, who got to spend some extra time with her during her last
month.
She is predeceased by her mother, Ada Kennedy,
father, Earl Kennedy; brother, Richard Kennedy (Shirley); and Maxwell
Kennedy (Delores) of St. John’s, NL.
While living in Labrador City, Shirley worked in
the retail business in (Woolworths) in her earlier years; was on the
Anglican Church Womens Guild; had a catering business; and later when
she and Bill moved to St. John’s, NL had a couple of
business including a bakery, a corner store, and catering
business.
In her last years in Hampton she developed a
wonderful relationship with her caregivers Vivian Bhola and Jean
Bates. They were her second and third daughters, even though
she said her only child, Gail, “was as good as a
bunch”. They went above and beyond to make her last years
comfortable and were always there for her. We are so very
thankful for their loving support as well as the support of the staff
at the Dr. V. A. Snow Centre.
Shirley will be cremated and her remains will be
taken to St. John’s, NL later in August to her final resting
place where her mother, father, and two brothers are
buried/cremated.
Arrangements have been entrusted to
Reid’s Funeral Home, Hampton (506-832-5541).
Donations in memory of Shirley can be made to the Dr. V. A. Snow
