Shirley‘s love of music and her support for the arts in her community are legendary. As a veteran member of the Tuesday Night Singers or as the Choral Director at the United Church in Florenceville, Shirley’s talents inspired many, including her children who are all musicians. If there was a touring act at Second Wind Music Center or a high school talent show at the Weldon Matthews Theater, Shirley was there. She was a founding member of the Carleton-Victoria Arts Council promoting Maritime Artists and served on the Board of Directors for Theater New Brunswick for many years.

A Memorial Mass of Thanksgiving will take place on Sunday, July 21, 2024 at 9:30 am at St. Leo's the Great's Church (60 Perkins Way, Florenceville-Bristol).
