Obituary for Shirley Anne Lyons (Abbott)

Shirley Anne  Lyons (Abbott)
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Shirley Lyons. Her children were with her when she passed. Shirley had just celebrated her 87th birthday.

She was the pillar of her entire family and loved them fiercely - especially her husband John Lyons, they had a wonderful partnership lasting over 60 years.

Shirley lit up a room with her beauty and radiant smile. ‘Shirl the Pearl’ was quick witted and charismatic while at the same time poised and proper. She had a passion for card playing and was an accomplished bridge player.

Loved by her children Christine (Jim Wright), Lorraine (Joel Bell) and J.J. Lyons (fiancé Teresa Cernigliaro). The family finds comfort in knowing Shirley has been reunited with her daughter Denise Cameron. She will be fondly remembered by niece JoAnne Lyons Jones and longtime friend Jane Wright. Grandma Shirl will always have a special place in the hearts of her grandchildren - David, Rachel, Abby, Derek, Kina, Sean, Lindsay, Chelsea, Ross, Brendan, Zachary, Lauren and Madison. Shirl was lucky enough to snuggle three great grandchildren - Declan, Grady and Avett.

Thank you to Adelaide Place Retirement residence, the residents and staff were her extended family and we will always be grateful for their support and friendship.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Funeral Mass at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Lindsay will take place on April 28th, 2018 at 11 a.m.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Mackey Funeral Home, 33 Peel Street, Lindsay (705-328-2721) Online condolences may be made at www.mackeys.ca
