  7. Our Dear Auntie Shirley greeted everyone with a smile. She was always kind and loving, and when she spoke to you, she made you feel like you were the only person in the room, and she had all the time in the world for you. Whenever we talked on the phone, a quick call would easily turn into an hour, talking about life, the universe and everything in between. Conversations with Auntie Shirley were always vibrant and enlightening. She was such a strong, intelligent, amazing woman, and a lovely Auntie. Childhood memories of visiting Auntie Shirley and Uncle Doug at the farm will stay with us forever.

    Shirley was an Auntie to Vicki, and to John by marriage, and she was also a Great-Aunt to our son Jackson. We loved her dearly and we will all miss her very much.

    Our deepest sympathies at this very sad time to James, Jennifer, Caroline and their families.

    Vicki, John and Jackson
