Loving and devoted mother of Jane (late Bud) Rohn of Manitoulin Island, Judy (Roger) Hum of Brockville, Maureen (Colin) Beatty of Burlington, Leslie Row (John Smith) of Stittsville and the late Richard "Dick” Row (Rita of Perth). Cherished grandmother of 12 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, one great-great grandson and is also predeceased by her grandsons Shawn Rohn, Ryan Beatty and great-grandson Liam Arnott. A life long resident of Smiths Falls, Shirley will be remembered as a resourceful homemaker, a voracious reader with boundless curiosity, and an independent and spirited family matriarch. She will be missed. As per Shirley's wishes, there will be a private celebration of life with the family at the cottage this coming summer. The family is grateful for the kindness and care shown by the staff at Hilltop Manor. If desired, memorial contributions may be made to the MS Society or the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
