Shirley enjoyed gardening in her younger years and later spent many hours at Shuswap Lake with her family in the summer months. She especially enjoyed her lunches and dinners with close friends in Revelstoke plus her semi-annual holidays with lifelong friends from school. hirley's eight grandchildren were her pride and joy and she delighted in having the local ones over for cookies whenever possible.
