Shirley was the beloved wife and soul mate for 56 years of the late William "Bill" (2008). Cherished mother of Paul, Doug (Michele), Susanne Mathers and Jane Ulrich (Todd).
Grandma will be sadly missed by Eric (Christy), Amanda (Chris), Andrew and Andrea Harris (John), Jordan and Mary Fisher, Blake and Devon Ulrich. Dear great grandma of Damian.

Fondly remembered by her dear sister-in-laws Jean Fisher (late Ches) and Dorothy Fisher (late Frank) and predeceased by Eileen and Bram Reed. Aunt Shirley will be missed by many nieces and nephews.
We would like to thank the amazing staff at Royal Gardens for taking extra special care of our mom; all of you have precious gifts of care and compassion. Dr. Karen Lee Eldridge and Dr. John Beamish, there are not enough words to express our gratitude for the extraordinary care you gave our mom.
