Shirley Petrus

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Shirley Petrus on April 25, 2016.
Born in Springhill, NS, she was a daughter of the late Peter and Lyttle (Miller) Petrus.
She began her career employed by MT&T in Oxford, NS. After leaving to raise her family, she returned to the work force eventually retiring from Public Works and Government Services Canada in Amherst, NS in 1997.
She leaves to mourn her sons Curtis (Barbara) McCabe, Amherst, NS and Vaughn (Karen) McCabe, Courtenay, BC; daughter Barb McCabe, Amherst, NS; grandchildren Geoffrey and Patrick; sisters Wilma (Ken) Currie, St. Catharine's, On, Wendy Petrus, Amherst, NS; brother John (Madeline) Petrus, Ottawa, ON; several nieces, nephew, great nieces and great nephews.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Furlong~Jones Funeral Home, 70 Church St., Amherst, NS (902-667-8777) where friends may visit and share memories with the family from 1 pm until 2 pm on Friday, April 29, 2016. Those that wish may follow at 2 pm to the committal service in the Hillside Cemetery, Springhill, NS.
We wish to express our deepest appreciation to Marcie Francis and Paul Cullihall for their compassion and tremendous support. Mom felt truly blessed to have had you in her life. We would also like to thank the Amherst VON, Dr. Harb, the staff of the Moncton Hospital Oncology Clinic and the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre for the care and kindness shown to our Mom.
Our Mom's enduring love, courage and strength has always carried and supported us. Even in her final months when battling an extremely debilitating disease it never wavered and will continue to sustain us throughout our lives.
Those wishing to make a donation in Shirley's memory may be made to the Amherst VON, the Canadian Cancer Society, or the charity of your choice.
Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting Tom's online memorial at www.furlongjones.ca or through the Funeral Home Facebook Page.
