Shirley Margaret Smith

Sadly, we announce that our mom Shirley Margaret Smith (m: Carson) born in Walkerton, Ontario passed away Feb 4, 2021 at the age of 87. Pre-deceased by father Pte. George Raymond Smith, loving mother Mildred Eva (Lawrence) Smith and our father William Andrew Carson. She is survived by her 5 children: Bryan, Bradley (Jo), Margaret (Dennis), Brenda Lee, Barbara Anne (Jim) as well as 9 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.

Shirley married William in Owen Sound, Ontario in 1953. They moved their young family to Vancouver, British Columbia in 1964. Shirley was a Licensed Practical Nurse by profession and was a volunteer with Canadian Blood Services. She was involved with the Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary in Vancouver and Prince George B.C. for over 40 years. She loved to dance and even participated in karaoke. She was a member of the Prince George Seniors Centre until vision problems interfered with her carpet bowling and minute taking. Shirley loved her clothes, shoes, and jewellery and was quite particular about her hair and nail polish. At 4’ 11” she is probably already handing out orders to those she has reunited with.

Sincere thank you to Dr. Botha and the Chilliwack General Hospital for the care that was provided to our mom and for allowing our visits on her final days.

A Memorial Service for family will be held at a later date. Final resting place after cremation will be Prince George Memorial Park Cemetery in B.C.
