Melvin,

Shirley

It is with mixed emotions the family of Shirley announces her passing on October 8, 2016 at the Almonte Country Haven.  She was the daughter of the late Margaret (nee Morrow) (Phillips) Drummond and David Phillips.  She was predeceased by her brother Gary and her husband Albert, who was the love of her life.  Shirley was born and raised in Almonte and spent most of her adult life here.  She enjoyed sewing, playing cards, and crocheting.  She also loved to garden and travel.  She gave back to her community with her volunteer work at the hospital.  She was also a member of the Eastern Star and over the years held many offices.  Shirley is survived by her son David (Laura), grandson Iain (Michelle) and great-granddaughters Cori and Rylee (Nova Scotia), grandson Seain (Melissa) and great-granddaughter Ashlyn (Alberta), her daughter Gloria (Michel), granddaughters Pauline and Gabrielle (Ontario), her son Steven (Marie), grandson Adam, great-granddaughter Kenzie and granddaughter Christy (Smiths Falls, ON.)
