Obituary of Shirley Stackhouse

Shirley Olive Stackhouse passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 20, 2023 at Carleton Kirk Lodge. Shirley was born on December 6, 1927 in Saint John, NB to the late George and Sadie Stackhouse.

Shirley is the last surviving member of her immediate family. In addition to her parents, she is predeceased by her siblings; Margaret Lee, Mary Bauer, Lorraine Titus, Vivian Garrett, Frances Coloris, Barbara Stackhouse, and George Stackhouse.

Over the years Shirley's hobbies included Bridge, Rummoli and Bingo. Her home was her pride and joy and she had a flare for decorating. Shirley loved babysitting all the little ones in the family and was a devoted cat Mom. She was also known at the Carleton Kirk to always have candy in her room, which she would kindly offer to her fellow residents. 

In her youth Shirley was involved in St. George’s Anglican Church and sang in the choir. Shirley was a lifelong Westsider, she worked at the Bank of Nova Scotia, West for over 40 years as a Teller, and she truly enjoyed her work.

Shirley was a kind and caring Aunt who will be greatly missed by her many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank the staff at Carleton Kirk Lodge for Shirley's care over the last six years.
