It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Shirley Carlisle of Vernon, B.C.. She passed away peacefully on December 27th, 2010 at 65 years of age. She is survived by her loving children Laura Hafeli (Dean Knutilla) and Gregg Hafeli (Theresa) and her grandchildren, Tyler Harden and Natalie and Holly Hafeli, all of Kamloops. Shirley migrated to Canada as a young child. She grew up in Port Coquitlam, B.C. and raised her children in Haney, Kamloops, and Penticton respectively. She worked hard as a court clerk and legal secretary for many years, spending her final years in Vernon. Shirley had a love for life and contributed greatly to her community as an active volunteer with four community and seniors' support groups. She will be remembered as a strong-willed and outspoken advocate for the disabled and less fortunate in Vernon and especially as a loyal and great friend by those who knew her best. Rest in peace mum, we love you. A celebration of Shirley's life will be held on Saturday, January 15th (2:00pm) at Columbus Court, 3003 Gateby Place, Vernon, B.C. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests that donations be made to Vernon Jubilee Hospital in her name.
