It is with
immense sadness that we announce Shelley’s passing after a courageous
battle with cancer.
Born to Sheldon and Janet (Duncan) Munro in St.
John’s, Newfoundland, Shelley lived in many places across Canada due
to her father’s career in the RCMP. This included Ottawa –
where sister Tammy joined the family, Dawson Creek BC, Grand Falls NB,
Port Elgin NB, and finally Fredericton NB where she attended junior
and senior high school. She worked various part-time jobs while
attending school, including Medjuck’s Furniture, Rogers Grocery,
Maritime Forestry Complex, and O’Leary Pontiac.
Shelley graduated from UNB with her Bachelor of Business
Administration in 1991, then worked as an accountant for Deloitte
& Touche, Formal Systems, and the Chalmers Hospital
Foundation.
Eventually Shelley’s path brought her to
meeting James, and together they moved to Winnipeg and then Thunder
Bay, where they married. Thunder Bay is where
Shelley’s greatest role in life began – she became Mom to daughter
Sarah and she embraced that role with all her heart. She was
the classic stay-at-home Mom – baking, sewing, volunteering at school,
and ensuring Sarah could participate in extracurricular
activities. There is no question Shelley was born to be a
Mom.
Though they lived in Thunder Bay all of Sarah’s
childhood years, New Brunswick was still “home” to the
Williams family. Shelley and Sarah spent every summer from
beginning to end between their family camp – lovingly built by James –
at Peltoma Lake, Shelley’s parents’ home in St. Andrews, and with
friends in Tracy and Fredericton, with James joining them during his
vacation time. Shelley maintained lifelong friendships
because she was so thoughtful – always keeping in touch, remembering
birthdays, and gifting beautiful handmade items. Many of
these friends visited and enjoyed great times at their Peltoma Lake
camp, where family and friends were always
welcome.
Shelley was extremely talented with just about
every craft – sewing, felting, stamping, card-making; but perhaps her
favorite was pottery. Shelley and James moved back to New
Brunswick in 2018 and it was Shelley’s plan to have her own pottery
studio at their home in Charters Settlement. Unfortunately
her health issues prevented this from coming to
fruition.
Shelley leaves to mourn her loving and
dedicated husband James, who was by her side daily in her final
months, cherished daughter Sarah (Nathan Gorey), loving mother Janet,
and sister Tammy (Matthew Ward). Survived by sisters-in-law
Donna (Lewis Golden), Gale (Steven Golding), Vicky (Raymond Mott),
Kathy (Bob McLaughlin), and Janie (Galen Golden); brother-in-law Tom
Williams, Aunt Athalia (Teddy) Cruikshank, as well as several cousins,
nieces and nephews. She will be missed by her beloved feline
companion Dolly. She was predeceased by her father
Sheldon, paternal grandparents Margaret (Helen) and Donald Munro,
maternal grandparents Laura and Freeland Duncan, parents-in-law
Dorothy (Dodie) and Arthur (Art) Williams, Uncles Carl Cruikshank,
Lewis Dillman, Charles (Teddy) Munro, and Lloyd Munro, brother-in-law
Dale Durling.
Shelley and
the Williams Family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff
of the Saint John Regional Hospital, Stan Cassidy Center for
Rehabilitation as well as the medical unit of the Dr. Everett Chalmers
Hospital, for their outstanding care. Special gratitude to
Dr. Gordon McDonald who co-ordinated Shelley’s care with knowledge and
compassion.
Visitation
will be at 6PM – 8PM at Bishop’s Funeral on Tuesday February
18. The funeral service will at 1PM Wednesday February 19 at Brunswick
Street Baptist Church with Pastor Ross Watters
officiating.
In lieu of
flowers, donations may be made to the Stan Cassidy Center for
Rehabilitation, the Chalmers Foundation Cancer Support Program, or
other charity of choice.
How lucky I
am to have something that makes saying goodbye so
hard.
