It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Shirley MacLean (née Passant) on November 23, 2024, at the age of 92 years. Shirley was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and cherished friend to many.

Shirley leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness in her children: Heather (late Louis), Joanne (Kenny), Susan Bassanese (Dean “Dino”), Cindy (John), Scott, and Janine. She was a proud grandmother of 14 grandchildren and a treasured great-grandmother of 21 great-grandchildren. Dear sister of Martin Fortier and Gail Lemieux (late Regis). Shirley is predeceased by her devoted husband Gordon Lough, her son Derek, her parents George and Florance Passant (née Martin), and her brother Leonard Fortin (Nicole).

Shirley’s life was defined by her ability to bring warmth and light to those around her. Her legacy of love and resilience lives on in the hearts of her family and friends. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
