Shirley Jackman, formerly of Thornbury and Meaford passed away on March 16, 2025 at the age of 94.

Shirley and Terence Grant Jackman were married on February 20 1954. Shirley and Terry enjoyed many family vacations in Algonquin Park, where Shirley became a local celebrity with her fishing skills, frequently “outfishing” other anglers. They continued to enjoy speckled trout fishing locally throughout the years. Terry predeceased her on December 20, 2016.
Following her high school graduation, Shirley began working in the local apple orchards, followed by a time with the Bell Telephone Company in Thornbury as an operator.
Her passion for flowers and talent for floral design motivated her to establish Thornbury Florists in the 1970s in partnership with her sister Lorna.
Shirley is survived by her four children Terry Jr. (Maxine), Denise, Lori (Bill) and Tracy (Jeff ), as well as six grandchildren (Lindsay, Leslie, Kathy, William, Taylor and Jordon) and twelve great grandchildren, all of whom will cherish fond and lasting memories of her.
