Shirley E. Dunn was born in Pembroke, Ontario on June 6,1929 to Joseph and Ann Jane Robinson. Her father was a successful farmer and the Mayor of Pembroke for many years. She would often speak fondly of her years growing up driving a tractor in the summer and playing in the winter snow.
After graduating from High School in 1946, Shirley obtained her nursing certificate and became a member of the Victorian Order of Nurses. She loved helping others as a full time nurse for many years. After her nursing career, Shirley transferred successfully into the retail industry, ultimately retiring after many years with the Burlington Coat Factory.
Shirley was an impeccable homemaker and talented seamstress. She enjoyed many hobbies including baking, gardening and craftwork. In her later years she was amazing at putting together difficult and beautiful puzzles.
The love of Shirley's life were her daughters Shelly Shamshoian and Michelle Dunn, grandchildren Paul Lopez and his wife Jessica, Brittany Morehead and her husband Scott, and Brandt Cross and his wife Lia and great grandchildren Natalie Georges, Lexi and Presleigh Pratt, Arik Eulberg, Emmett Cross and Amelia Morehead.
Shirley was preceded in Heaven by her mother and father, brothers Benny, Stewart, James, Rowan, and George Robinson, sisters Margaret Graham, Violet Zuber and Elinor McVigh and her beloved grandson Sean Lopez.
Shirley was a faithful believer of Jesus Christ and is now celebrating the promise of her faith. Thank Heaven for Heaven.
