SHIRLEY ELIZABETH MATTHES On Friday, March 9, 2001 Shirl passed away. She left behind a lot of memories of her wit, her generosity and tremendous spirit. Shirl was born March 19, 1932, the third child of John Kerr and Elizabeth Handel who instilled in her a love of nature. Shirl married Matt in 1953 and raised Christine and Gordon with the same zest for life and love of learning the couple shared. Left to celebrate Shirls life are her husband Matt in East Selkirk; daughter Chris and husband Darryl in Calgary; son Gord in Calgary; big sister and brother-in-law Marie and Rudy Bucholz in Winnipeg; sister-in-law Nancy Kerr in Oshawa, several nieces and nephews and special friends in Calgary, Beverley, Vi and Katherine. Brother Bob predeceased her in 1999. Following Shirls wishes, no service will be held. Cremation has taken place. If friends so desire, a donation in Shirls name may be made to the Palliative Care Unit, St. Boniface Hospital, Winnipeg. A special thanks to Tracy at CancerCare and everyone at the Palliative Care Unit, with an extra hug going to Collette. You know you are special when in the saddest moments you can bring comfort and a smile.
