Shirley was a dedicated volunteer for the Cancer Society, Student Breakfast Program and the Algoma Manor Tuck Shop. She was also a long-term member of the Catholic Women’s League. You always knew spring was here when Shirley and her good friend Mary Jane Goodall, aka The Daffodil Ladies came around selling daffodils for the Cancer Society.
A special thank you to all the staff at the Algoma Manor for the compassionate care they provided mom throughout her stay. Mom was good-natured and was always teasing and joking with the staff.
At Shirley’s request, no services will be held. Memorial donations can be made to the Cancer Society or the NSHN-Thessalon Site.
