Shirley Laura Kathleen Turner (nee Hare)

Passed peacefully on May 30, 2024 at the Southlake Residential Care Village at the age of 91. Much loved wife of the late Robert (Bob) Arthur Turner and predeceased by her daughter Patti Reed. She will be forever in the hearts of her children Patti (Doug Reed), Shelley (Jim Vanni) and Bob (Beth Stevenson). Shirley was the adored Nana of Samantha (Delon), Carly (Mike), Joe (Inga), Kyle (Emily), Nolan (Rem), Hayden and Toby. She was also Great Grandma to Lola, Hugh, Leo and Elle.

Shirley worked with Bob in the insurance industry for many years and was a Returning Officer for Elections Canada for 4 federal elections.

Life for Shirley was all about her family. This was her greatest joy, big family dinners, celebrations and summers spent at the family cottage on Head Lake. She also enjoyed curling for many years and played bridge well into her senior years.

Shirley was the most supportive, loving and generous mother and Nana with the best sense of humour. Her family will miss her very much which includes her nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank the staff at Southlake Residential Care Village for her care but mostly PSW Ana who became her friend and amazing caregiver taking care of Mom for many years.

A celebration of life for Shirley will be held on Friday, July 19, 2024 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Thompson Funeral Home, 530 Industrial Parkway South, Aurora, ON L4G6W8.
