Shirley Grace Grace

1936 - 2022

GRACE, Shirley Grace (nee Williams) March 8, 1936 - Edmonton, Alberta June 5, 2022 - Calgary, Alberta It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear Mother Shirley Grace Grace. Dementia took her from us, but she will always be fondly remembered as an amazing lady. Shirley was many things, a devoted wife and mother, a big sister, a special aunt, and beloved grandmother. Shirley graduated in 1958 from the University of Alberta in Nursing. As well, Shirley was an avid tennis player, golfer, hiker, skier, boater, rancher, life master bridge player and so much more. Shirley was game for ANYTHING and could handle what life threw at her with ease. Shirley grew up in Edmonton, AB where she met and married her high school sweetheart Don. Shirley and Don raised their family in Calgary, AB and in later years moved to Saanichton, BC to build their dream home and enjoy the west coast lifestyle. Shirley was predeceased by her loving husband Don in 2016. She is survived by her four children, Sandy (David), Cameron (Janis), Susan (Chris), and David (Kim). Shirley is also survived by her grandchildren, Robert (Carley), Sarah (Jonah), Leah (Will), Margie, Duncan, Alexander, and Owen. The family would like to express our gratitude to the staff at Staywell Manor for caring for our mother. Shirley was the foundation of the Grace clan, gentle and kind, friend to so many and life of the party. Shirley will be greatly missed, and we will all cherish our fond memories of her. In lieu of flower please consider contributing to the Alzheimer's Society. A celebration of life will be held in the summer.
