Peacefully at the Ottawa General Hospital. Shirley Ferguson (nee MacLeod) of Maxville, age 90 years. Beloved wife of 60 years of Donald Ferguson. Loving mother of Donna of Ottawa and Norman of Maxville. Dear sister of Melba Shaver (late Don) of Toronto. Shirley is predeceased by her brothers Ian (late Helen), William and Campbell (Lois), by her sister Alma Metcalfe (Ian) and by her parents William and Grace MacLeod (nee Campbell).
