Shirley Cuff Obituary
After having celebrated her 94th birthday with her daughters, Shirley Mae Cuff (Button) passed away on April 13, 2023.
Shirley was predeceased by the love of her life, her husband of 59 years, Frank Cuff. Also predeceased by her father Herbert E Button, her mother Maud (Robinson) brothers Thomas (Pip) and Robert.
She is survived by her family, Debbi and Brian Gavin, Marilyn Cuff, Marney and Paul Cuff-Eisenbarth (deceased), Trish and Bill Perrin, Chris Cuff and Roger Still and Aleisha Cuff; Grandchildren, Jody and Greg, Tim and Rebecca, Todd and Meghan, Craig and Amanda, Charlie, Michael, Emily and Francesca and Cameron; Great-grandchildren, Thomas, Greyson, Charlotte, Blake and Levi. Also survived by her brother Ray (Dorothy) and numerous nieces and nephews in both Canada and the United States.
Many weddings, birthdays and other celebrations were made that much more beautiful when graced by one of her amazing cakes. She was able to share her cake and chocolate decorating talents while teaching in the Hamilton Wentworth School District Adult Education Night School Program.
Shirley enjoyed her gardens and received a number of Trillium Awards from the Province of Ontario. She had a special love for the birds and small animals that visited her gardens in search of the treats she would leave out.
Her family wishes to thank Dr Robert Basilij as well as Kate and the staff at McVean Lodge in Hanover, for all of the care and attention they have given to our mom. She loved her McVean home and felt safe and cared for. Our mom spoke very highly of you all.
Shirley had many friendships that lasted over the years, in particular with Gillian of Ancaster, Patty of Mildmay and her cousin Deanna.
To honour her wishes, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date with more information to follow. Interment at Hanover Cemetery.
Memorial donations to the Charity of Your Choice is appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to the care of Mighton Funeral Home in Hanover. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.mightonfuneralhome.ca
