It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Shirley

Born in Lower Cove, NS, she was a daughter of the late William and Roseanna

Affectionately called Petsy by her friends and family, Shirley enjoyed
knitting and quilting and loved to host family gatherings. She was well
known for her pet rock that she brought from New Brunswick years ago and
always had near by for everyone to admire. Shirley was a humble lady who
worked hard at home and at her job with Northern Telecom. Family came first
for her. No one ever went hungry or cold, she was a wonderful mother, and a
true provider.

Joggins, Linda Boyd, Amherst, NS, Patrick Brine (Sheila), Springhill, NS,
Kathy (Tom) Stewart, New Glasgow, NS, Wade (Brenda Kemsley) Brine, Maccan,

grandchildren and great grandchildren; brothers, Clifford and Donald (Laura)
Brown; sisters-in-law, Katherine Brown and Beulah Brown; brother-in-law,
Edward Palmer, and many nieces and nephews.

Besides her parents, she was predeceased by brothers Austin, Earl and Robert
(Kenetta); sisters, Edith (Aubrey) and Violet, and a sister-in-law, Annette.
