Hawley, Shirley Maxine (née Hughes)
September 25th, 2021
Beloved mother and grandmother, died peacefully at LHSC – University Hospital on Saturday, September 25, 2021. Born in Chatham on February 7, 1930 to Thomas and Adeline (née Broadbent) Hughes. The youngest of three daughters, Shirley is predeceased by her sisters Marjorie Hughes and Sister Barbara Hughes. With her dear husband Noble Ross Hawley and two sons, Shirley moved to London in 1972 where she worked as a Registered Nurse in the position of Director of Nursing Care at the Dearness Home LTC facility. Shirley is predeceased by the love of her life, Ross Cecil Hawley; her youngest son, Michael Hawley; and brother-in-law Donald Hawley. Left to mourn her loss and miss her dry sense of humour and quick wit is her eldest son Douglas Hawley, along with his wife Teresa (née Paul) Hawley, sister-in-law Louise Hawley, and numerous grandchildren. Shirley loved to spend time with her family at their cottage in Johnstone’s Harbour. Along with her husband, Shirley was passionate about raising money for the Shriners Hospitals for Children. Serving as Queen in her local chapter #111 of Daughters of the Nile in 2002 was a special highlight for Shirley, with many dear friends made over the years through this philanthropic organization, and that of the Eastern Star. Shirley was an enthusiastic traveler in her later years and saw much of the world, with her Christmas tree decorated with ornaments from Africa, Australia and Alaska, to name a few. A funeral service will be conducted at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Thursday, September 30, 2021 at 3:00 p.m., with visitation two hours prior. The family welcomes those who are unable to attend, to participate in the service via livestream. Registration is required to attend the visitation and funeral service, or to view the livestream.
