Shirley Ann Daye After a 10 year courageous battle with breast cancer, God granted Shirley Daye rest on December 29, 2007 at the age of 61. Shirley leaves behind her best friend and loving husband of 39 years, Wayne Daye; her daughter Rhonda Daye (Jason Eardley) of Victoria BC; the apple of her eye, granddaughter Emmersen Ann; her special grandson Adam; her son Darren Daye (Kristina Mitchell) of Kamloops, BC; loving family in the east, west and Ontario; and many dear friends from all over. Born in Chipman, NB on August 3, 1946, Shirley met the love of her life at a young age and married him in 1968. They soon made their way to British Columbia to begin their lives together and start a family. Many wonderful years were spent in Cranbrook raising their two children and running a successful business before venturing off to Victoria and finally settling in Kamloops. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, Shirley gave silently and loved loudly, always putting others first. A special thanks to Dr. Langford and staff of the 8th floor Cancer Clinic for assisting Shirley throughout the years; thanks to Pastor Harry Bicknell for his guidance and support; and thank you to the nurses and volunteers at Kamloops Hospice for their loving grace and care. A Celebration of Shirley's life will be held at 1:00 pm on Thursday, January 3, 2008 in the Summit Baptist Church, 1975 Summit Drive, with Pastor Harry Bicknell officiating. Memorial donations may be made to Kamloops Hospice or the Canadian Cancer Society, and would be appreciated by the family in lieu of flowers.
