Shirley was born on August 19, 1930 in Peterborough, ON. At an early age, her family moved to Moose Jaw where she worked at the Woolen Mills. She met Bill in the early 1950’s and were married in 1952. They started their family by 1953 and raised their children in Moose Jaw. She worked at CanaDay’s Apparel Ltd until she suffered a back injury in 1980. Shirley took great pride in her home, especially her flower gardens. She enjoyed many crafts, baking, and birdwatching, but above all her passion was her family, particularly her grandchildren. Family gatherings were always a highlight when she enjoyed baking and cooking for her children and grandchildren.
