Shirley was an amazing lady who took pride in her family. She was a model mother and grandmother who was always willing and happy to help out wherever she could. Everyone knew her door was always open and she enjoyed the times visiting with her family and friends.
Shirley spent most of her career working as a legal secretary for George Loucks at his law firm in Chesley. She was an active member of the Catholic Women’s League and, in retirement, enjoyed her garden, lawn bowling and playing solo.
Shirley will be dearly missed by all of us. Her legacy will now live on in the stories and memories which we all hold onto.
Many thanks to the team at Brucelea Haven for their compassion and excellent care.
