Shirley was born in Ballycastle, County Antrim, Northern Ireland and moved to Canada in 1934 settling in Regina. She married there and moved to Winnipeg where her three children were born and raised. She moved to Swan River for her second marriage and lived there from 1968-1979 after which she returned to Winnipeg to stay, living for a number of years in Osborne Village. Shirley was able to travel to various places in her life, returning to Northern Ireland to visit relatives, travels in Europe, South America, China, Australia, several stays in Mexico, Texas, as well as trips throughout Canada. Shirley was involved with the Rebekahs and the United Church Ladies Auxiliary for over 40 years. Shirley loved flowers and gardening, her children and her grandchildren and most recently two great-grandchildren. Shirley was active and healthy most of her life until osteoporosis took its toll with several broken bones and hospitalizations. She was amazed that she was still alive at 99.
