Born in Chatham on August 30, 1945 she was the daughter of the late Eunice (Beek) Judson and Dewar Judson of Moncton. Shirley is survived by her loving husband of 46 years, Allan Capson who was at her side until the very end. Beloved son and daughter, Jason and Stacey Capson; adored daughter-in-law, Monique Capson; the "lights of her life", granddaughters - Janica, Olivia and Jayden; brothers Dewar Judson and Ralph Judson (Fran); sister-in-law Lorenna (June) Morton; sister-in-law Louise Judson; nephews Mark Judson, Scott Judson and Jonathan Morton; nieces Melanie Judson and Elenor (Casey) Morton and father Dewar Judson (June).

Shirley enjoyed the many years spent with the Moncton Miniature & Doll Club and the MANY close friends she made throughout the years. She cherished every meeting, gathering and event with the club.
Shirley loved music and there was always music playing at the house throughout the years. The Gaither Vocal Band was her favorite and she never missed an episode of the Gaither Gospel Hour. The absolute joy of her life and the thing that brought her the greatest pleasure were her three granddaughters - Janica, Olivia and Jayden. Nothing made her happier than spending time with them; guiding them and spoiling them - especially at Christmas. She loved holidays and made sure that every birthday, holiday or special event was celebrated to the maximum. Hats, antlers or bunny ears were worn by everyone in attendance - Shirley made sure of it. She lit up a room the second she entered it. She was a giver and she gave SO much to so many and she will always be remembered for her caring heart and always had a little note or special card to make you feel special.
