She will be sorely missed by Mel, her Daughters’, Sister, Grandchildren, and Family. Shirley was born in Lethbridge May 9, 1947. She was predeaced by her Mother, Leona Hunt and her Father Aksel Wennes.

Shirley had great respect and love for all the people in her life. She will be missed by all those she touched.
