Shirley was born in Daysland, Alberta to Anne and Harry Spiller.
The youngest of 7 children she grew up on the farm, and after graduation she started her Nurses training at the Misericordia hospital in Edmonton.
She met her husband, Bob, of 59 yrs, in Edmonton and they lived in numerous cities across Canada, finally settling in Nanaimo.
Shirley nursed at NRGH and Dufferin place for 20 yrs.
Shirley is survived by her husband, Bob, sons Ron and his wife, Tracey, Dean and his wife Valerie, and by grandchildren, Caitlin, Hayley, Claire, Hannah, and Allistair, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Shirley enjoyed her gardening, was an avid reader, collected Hummel and Swarovski figurines, and loved her grandchildren.
She was a three time cancer survivor, and if you see fit, please think of donating to the BC cancer agency or cystic fibrosis Canada.
