McLAREN, Shirley Anne (nee JENKINS) - Shirley Anne McLaren (nee Jenkins), born August 26, 1932, Raymore, SK, passed away peacefully with family at her side, December 8, 2018, Toronto, ON.
Predeceased by daughter Wendy Joanne and brother Robert (Bob).
Survived by beloved husband Al, sister Hazel and brother Lloyd.
Son Stewart, daughter Valerie and grandchildren Melissa, Christie, Rachelle and McLaren.
Shirley (mom) was an excellent student winning the Governor General and Lady Alexander Award for Academics in her home province of PEI. An avid reader, Shirley loved biographies.
She was always more interested in people, friends and family and could be counted on to lend an ear and help whenever possible. Shirley was a teacher before leaving PEI to follow her love to Toronto where she married Al, raised her family and worked as a bookkeeper.
In their retirement years, Shirley and Al travelled, enjoyed summers in PEI and spending time with family and friends. Shirley suffered from dementia during the last decade of her life and we would like to thank the staff at Shepherd Village, Bendale Acres and Scarborough General Hospital for all their support.
Family will receive friends at the Ogden Funeral Home, Agincourt, on Wednesday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral Service will be held in the Chapel on Thursday at 11 a.m. with visitation one hour prior at 10 a.m. Interment at a future date at Prince Edward Island.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Knox United Church, Agincourt, would be appreciated.
