SHIRLEY ANN HART (nee NOVAK) On Friday August 12, 2005 surrounded by her family, Shirley Ann Hart was promoted to be with her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Shirley was born September 10, 1957 in Theodore, SK and raised on the family farm near Gladstone, MB. After completing High School in 1974, Shirley relocated to Winnipeg and graduated from Success Business College with honours in 1975. Shirley was first employed as a legal secretary for the law firm of Tepley and Pooley from 1975 to 1980. Shirley then made the transition to the position of Executive Secretary to the Treasurer of the Canadian Wheat Board from 1980 to 1989. Shirley had also served as the Attendance and Reservation Chairman with the Winnipeg Legal Secretaries Association, was a legal Dictaphone transcriber, Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal canvasser, Myotonic Dystrophy Association support program volunteer and member of the Linden Christian School prayer chain.
