Shirley was born in Buffalo Gap, SK and raised in rural SK. She met and married Robert “Bob” Bell in Moose Jaw, SK and they started their family there. After a short time in Estevan and Saskatoon, the family eventually made Calgary their home, which is where they have lived ever since. Shirley enjoyed knitting, cooking, and reading. She will be fondly remembered by all of her family and friends.
At Shirley’s request, there will be a private family gathering. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society (
