SHIRLEY ANGELINE GURR (nee Tran)
March 20, 1926 - April 1, 2014
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, relative and friend, Shirley.
She died peacefully with her loved ones at her bedside. Shirley was a terrific and loving mother to Trish Gabriel, Donna-Marie Gurr and Robert Gurr. She is also survived by her grandchildren Celeste Makow and Michaela Gurr.
She was Born in Kamsack, Saskatchewan, and grew up in Vancouver, BC. She moved to the Sunshine Coast in 1976 and was an active member of the community, spiritual study groups and St. Bartholomew’s church where she shared her joy of music. Shirley loved swimming in the ocean at the local beaches, spending time with her family, a cold one on a hot sunny day and walking in nature.
We would like to gratefully acknowledge the staff of Christenson Village for their wonderful care of Shirley during her eight years residing there and the wonderful palliative care. We also extend our thanks to Dr. Lehman for his care of Shirley over the past 30 years.
A celebration of Shirley’s life will take place at 11 a.m., Saturday, April 5, 2014 at Chaster House, Bonniebrook, 1549 Ocean Beach Esplanade in Gibsons, BC.
In lieu of flowers please make donations to Christenson Village or a to charity.
