Shirley was born and grew up in Lethbridge, Alberta, later moving to the Crowsnest Pass where she met her loving husband Pat. They moved to Kimberley in 1958 where they resided for 62 years raising their family and volunteering in the community. Shirley was on countless committees including KIOTAC, Women of the Moose, Summer Games, Winter Games, Snow Fiesta, Kimberley Now, Summer Theater, Festival of the Arts, Dynamiter Booster Club and many more!
She so enjoyed her volunteering.
Shirley loved decorating her home at Hallowe’en for the entire town! Her greatest joy was watching as the kids decided on a candy apple, sucker, popcorn ball or ginger bread cookie. Christmas was another special time for Shirley and Pat as they always went all out with decorations.
Shirley will be lovingly remembered by all she knew.
