It is with deep sadness we announce the loss of our dear Grandma Shirley; grandma, great grandma, good friend, pal and confidant. She will always be remembered for her loving, kind and generous nature, as well as her sense of humour and style. In our hearts she will be remembered as the elegant matriarch of our family, the Classy Grandma.
Shirley was predeceased by her parents Roy and Doris Selman, her son Jordon Welsh, her daughter Lindsay May Welsh (Horsman), her son-in-law Mark Horsman and her loving partner of 27 years, Chester Kone Dobson.
Surviving are her grandsons Jason (Jen), Trevor (Amanda) and Alexander (Kyla) Welsh: her granddaughter, Christie Horsman (Brendon); her great grandchildren, Avery May, Landon, Olivia, and Margaret, and step-son, Jim Dobson and family, and her close relatives, the Shaw family.
Born in Vancouver, Shirley attended Lord Byng High School and was a graduate of UBC. Thanks to Flor, Jejie, Colleen, Donna, Cynthia and the many cherished friends for all their love, assistance and support.
No service will be held at her request, but if desired, any donations to animal charities would be appreciated.
