Shirley Gordon

Passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 22, 2015 at Pioneers Lodge in Moose Jaw with family by her side. Shirley, at the age of 73, predeceased by her parents, Willie and Annie Steinley. Beloved wife of Norman for over 46 years, loving mother of Rodney Steinley, stepmother of Bruce Gordon (Jessica Wells) and Sherri Gordon. Cherished grandmother of Linzeii, Travis, Chelsea and Clara. Shirley will be very greatly missed by her brother Glen Steinley (Frances), by her sister in-law Loretta Overby (Ken), and by her many nieces, nephews, friends and extended family members. Shirley was born on April 8, 1941 on the family farm near Prairieview, SK. She grew up attending the Swan Lake Country School in the Prairieview district, and later did high school courses by correspondence. She attended a secretarial college in Medicine Hat, AB and upon completion moved to Calgary where she worked as a secretary. It was during this time that she had a blind date with a young man from Moose Jaw. Within a couple of months, she moved to Moose Jaw where she began working at Central Motors for a short time before becoming a legal secretary. She and Norm were married on August 31, 1968. All through the years, they enjoyed many vacations all over North America, but also had a few special trips that included Cuba, Hawaii, Scotland and England. Shirley was very family oriented and was known for organizing family reunions, and gatherings. She was good at keeping in touch with people, and still met monthly with a group of secretaries that she had worked with over her 35 year career in Moose Jaw. She loved her home and floral gardens, enjoyed baking and cooking, but was particularly known for forging deep relationships with friends and family. She and Norm enjoyed many years with Ken and Loretta Overby as well as Glen and Frances Steinley, taking holidays, playing cards, bowling and attending all of the kid’s birthdays and ball games.
