Shirley Joyce Elve
January 23rd, 2022
It is with great sadness that we announce that Shirley Joyce Elve passed away on Sunday, January 23, 2022 at the age of 86. She was predeceased by her parents Elma and Reginald Coombe, her sister Fay, her husband Ronald and son Randy. Shirley will be lovingly remembered by her children Debbie (Colin), Dianne (David), Donna (Raymond), Brian (Peg) and Delaney (Dan); along with 13 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren; and her brother Larry (Colleen).
Shirley met her husband in high school and enjoyed almost 60 years of marriage. Together they raised 6 children along with numerous pets along the way. Shirley also loved having dogs in her life. She was regularly seen in the kitchen baking her famous goodies like Nanaimo bars, butter tarts and her most infamous short bread cookies.
Through the years she enjoyed many trips to British Columbia to see family, though the winding mountain roads did make her nervous at times. With her husband’s firefighter driving skills, she was always in good hands. Shirley loved her large family events like summer BBQs, Christmas gatherings and any other time her family could celebrate together. That was when she was happiest.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your local animal shelter in Shirley’s name. Private graveside service was held.
