Shirley was a very loving and generous person. She had an open door policy and was a mother to all. She was a great cook and loved to feed everyone. When she wasn’t asking you for second or third helpings, she was getting desert ready! She was known for her generosity and love of animals. She spoiled everyone! And we loved it. Shirley was an amazing individual and a beautiful soul. She was loved by many will be dearly missed.
She is survived by her two daughters Gail and Sandra Rinehart; sons-in-law, Ken McDonald and Louis Bourgeois; grandsons, Todd Lafontaine, Colin McDonald, Bradley Bridgewater; one great-granddaughter Sloane Turcotte.
