Shawne Marguerite Munro

March 20, 1962 – April 16, 2024 (MAID)  

By The time you read this I Will have taken my last breath…  

Spring is one of my favourite seasons with all new life starting to emerge in the wild …  we get to watch as baby birds are born in planter; Eaglets high up in the tree await their next meal; the baby fawns that are born on the golf course snuggled around a tree base waiting for mom to come back...  Walking down the fairway with the sun on my back…this is what makes my heart happy.

I have lived the most amazing life and met some incredible friends along my path.  I was born and raised in Calgary, AB and formed many, many friendships which I am happy to say a lot of them ...I still call friends. 

Bryan my amazing, always by my side…husband and I moved to Vancouver Island to start a new chapter of our lives… exciting to play golf every month and for us to form new friendships and enjoy life on the coast… I have been very fortunate to golf around the island… I belonged to three different golf clubs and within each of those golf clubs formed new families that I cherished every day.

Making my decision to have MAID has not come easy because I love my life so very much but when I'm unable to enjoy it the way I always have that's when I needed to make the very difficult decision…  

I started preparing myself for my next journey at the beginning of December 2023 and once I had the courage to inform my family, my many friends… that's when the decision made me really look at my life and see how much I'm giving up and going to miss … unfortunately if I had to sit and watch my life go by without participating, I knew I would not be very happy…  

To my family ...my MOM Patricia Anderson who taught us the value of life the best she could with the information she was given and as time went by my two brothers -Doug (Diane) Cam (Lynn) moved out of our family home to start our lives and create new friendships… that's when our lives really started to form and take shape…  

I have an amazing handsome nephew Shane (Karen) Anderson and two beautiful nieces Christy Anderson, Jennifer (Sheldon) Coish... who I really didn't get to know in their early lives as much as I wanted to… but as I grew older you three became very important in my life along with your amazing kids Marin, John, Jacob, Haley, Kelly and Jackson ... you 6 made my heart explode in wonderful ways

I am predeceased by my DAD Hugh Anderson, my GRAMPS Ledna, and my NANA Marguerite (Peggy) Mrstik.

In the last three months I have received such beautiful emails with the kindest words that made my eyes sweat…  

On April 16th I left this world with an enlarged heart from all the love and support, the caring, the lunches, the overnight trips, Mahjong that I played with friends, the fur babies I was so fortunate to have been given the trust to look after, the trips my friends have made to see me… these all made my life enriched beyond words  

 In lieu of flowers I ask that you contact your nearest Wildlife rehabilitation centre or SPCA to make a donation that they so desperately need...  

I leave nothing in my tank and my heart overflowing.

Until we meet again and much love  

Shawne, Shawnie, Shanae, Sha Na Na, Shawnee, Sparky
