So so sorry she was a great lady I have lots of memories. We were in her car shopping and the car started to smoke. She grabbed Cheryl, pulled her out of the car seat and I grabbed Kelley and we just threw Debbie out. Bob didn’t take the cardboard out from the front of the rad of the car in front of Rico fruit market. We were driving all day so the car overheated. lol we had lots of dances to go to and snowmobiling. Lots of fun, good times. Think of you all. Bolton friend. Love Ron and jackie

My condolences on your loss. I’ll always remember the card parties and the Finkle Farm. I’ll never forget the day Shirley called all in a panic; one of your cows was having ‘difficulty’ calving, so I rushed up and had a look. I told Shirley “Let;s go have a coffee.” We came back in 1/2 hour to catch the final act of birthing of a healthy calf.
Years later, my sister, Louise, told me of a lady that I would know, who was the ‘life of the party’ on her tour groups. Of course, it was Shirley.
Shirley will be missed by many.

Debbie, Bob, Cheryl and Donna –
I am so sorry for your loss. What a terrible shock.
I have fond memories of growing up next door to the Finkle’s farm on what was then the 6th Line of Albion.
More recently I curled in the women’s league at Chinguacousy in 2001/2002 along with Shirley. She was a great curler and such a fun lady.
My heart goes out to you all.

Debbie and Family,
How time passes and the wonderful people and memories that we met and gathered along the way are held even closer and cherished even more when we lose the ones we love. Your Mom was a beautiful lady and I have great memories of when we were all in high school of you, the get togethers at the farm and your Mom’s great laugh.
I too lost my Mom last year, and the pain and sadness never quite goes away, but I am so lucky as you are, to have had a wonderful Mom and wonderful and everlasting memories to hold on to forever. The memories will truly get you through each day.
Thinking of you and your family,
xo
