Shirley Diane (nee Gibbard) TOLMIE

October 10, 2006

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Shirley Diane Tolmie (nee Gibbard) at the age of 64, on Oct. 10, 2006 in Grande Prairie, AB.

Married for 49 years to Sam Tolmie, she lived for her husband and family. Shirley was a peaceful, quiet and loving wife, mother and grandmother who loved to bake and cook for anyone who visited her home.

She called the Fraser Valley her home and moved to Grande Prairie in August 2001. There she fought and survived two courageous battles of cancer in the last three years of her life. She fought to the very end and has now gone onto a better place to meet her children and maker.

Shirley will be sadly missed. Until we meet again...

She is survived by husband: Clarence (Sam) Hubert Tolmie; sons, Lonny (Chantal), John (Joanne), Gary (Denise); daughters: Darlene and Cheryl; grandchildren: Alisha, Diane, Todd, Nathan, Kayla, Travis, Bailey, Schuyler, Abigayle, Justin and Cody; great-grandchildren: Kaera, Mattias, Dawson and Quinton; sister, Rita; and numerous sisters-in-law; brothers-in-law; nieces and nephews.

She is predeceased by children Daniel Tolmie and Peggy Tolmie; parents Dave and Tillie Gibbard; brothers: Julius, Albert and Robert Gibbard.

If friends so desire, donations may be made to Cross Cancer Institute, c/o of Alberta Cancer Foundation, 11560 University Ave, Edmonton, AB T6G 1Z2.
