WELHAM, Shirley -
March 13, 1930 – July 28, 2024.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Shirley Welham on July 28, 2024, at the age of 94.
Shirley was born on March 13, 1930 in Toronto to Arthur and Ada Barwise.
Predeceased by her husband, Frederick (2005); Shirley is survived by her children, Steven (Carolyn), Roger (Linda), Nancy (Rick), and Dean.
Cherished by her grandchildren, Chantel, Daniel (Lina), Caitlin (Raffi), Brandon and great-granddaughter, Semira. Adored by her many nieces and nephews.
Shirley worked as a bookkeeper for many years at a time when many women didn't work.
She was an example of working hard, living frugal, and being dedicated to her family. We will remember her square dancing with our dad, singing, skiing, and enjoying retirement as a snow bird in Florida.
Cremation with a private family interment was held at St. John's Norway Cemetery in Toronto, on Friday August 2, 2024.
As an expression of sympathy, donations to Alzheimer's Association would be appreciated by the family.
