Shirley lived a full and beautiful life with a deep faith and conviction of God’s will for her life. She found strength in her closely associated friends, which brought her much peace and joy. She loved sewing, knitting, and crocheting. She also had a love for travel and travelled to various places in the world up into her 90’s, until she was no longer able. Her favourite places to travel were to various provinces in Canada and the USA, where she visited family, as well as travelling to the Ukraine several times, where her daughter Sharon resided. Her last trip was to visit her daughter Jan and family, in British Columbia, in January of 2018. Her remaining years were spent living in the Waverly Seniors Village in Chilliwack, British Columbia, close to her daughter Jan and family. She stayed connected to distant family and friends by the blessing of technology, up until the very end. Two daughters, Nancy and Jan and granddaughter Katherine were by her side when she moved on to her heavenly home. She was surrounded by loved ones until the very end. Shirley will be forever loved and will be dearly missed by so many.
