GREEN, Shirley - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Shirley (Russell) Green.
She passed away peacefully, in her home, on Sunday, May 15, 2022, in Brockville, Ontario.
Predeceased by her loving husband (Donald Baillie Green) and survived by her children Debbie (Green) O'Brien, Donald (Lizette) Green and Ellen (Les) Wallace.
Loving grandmother to Michael (Olivia) O'Brien and Matthew O'Brien, Elyse and Erica Green and step-grandmother to Mary and Mitch Wallace. She also leaves behind her adoring sister, Jeannie Hickey.
Shirley was born on April 30, 1933 in Delta, Ontario. She graduated from nursing school in 1955 at Toronto General Hospital, where she created lifelong friendships.
After a short time in the nursing world, she married Don and happily raised her three children in Brockville.
She was especially proud of her involvement with Canadian Aid for Chernobyl where she and Don gave generously to hospitals, orphanages and provided life-saving surgeries for families in need.
She is also very proud of The Don and Shirley Green Family Charitable Foundation, which has supported numerous charities locally and worldwide, including building a SOS children's village in Namibia.
These years since her beloved Don left her have been difficult, so we take great comfort in knowing they are reunited and sharing a glass of wine.
Together forever. We will all miss you deeply Pearlie! The family would like to thank Denise Peters, Christina Merkx, Emma Wilson, Saumya Thomas, Rebecca Griffin and Kim Martindale for their kind, loving and compassionate care. Special thank you to Sylvia Lariviere for her 36 years of dedication and loyalty.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Brockville Country Club, 1548 King Street West, Brockville, on Monday, June 20, 2022, from 1-3:30 p.m. with tributes beginning at 2 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in Shirley's memory, to Canadian Aid for Chernobyl at: www.canadianaidforchernobyl.com.
