SHIRLEY LORRAINE FARGEY
Born April 22, 1928
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Shirley Fargey on Thursday, March 12, 2015 with her family at her side.
Left to cherish Shirley?s memory are her children, Lorraine/Lori (Rick), Vance and Sandra/Sandy (Rob); her grandchildren, Samantha (Kevin), Carissa (Ryan), Megan (Robert), Aaron and Justin; great-grandchildren, Robert, Benjamin and Sadie; cousin Moira (Herb) Nixon; nieces, Carol (Rae) Campbell and Joyce (Mike) Hanson-Peterson; nephew Tim (Elizabeth) Fargey; as well as several great-nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Helena and Harold; brothers, Fraser (Nell), Gordon (Babe) and Jack (Anne); and life-long friends Marian Eggar (nee Medland), Flora Stacey (nee McDonald) and Ruth Frith (nee McDonald).
Mom was born in the Fargey Family home in La Riviere, Manitoba. She enjoyed her childhood and had many fond memories as the youngest child and only daughter. Mom commuted by train to Manitoba School for the Deaf, and when MSD was converted to a training facility at the time WWII broke out, Saskatoon School for the Deaf. She loved playing basketball and curling and enjoyed watching
After her father?s passing in 1955, Mom moved with her Mother to Winnipeg, Manitoba. They shared a home at 776 Garfield Street creating many special memories together. Each time we drove by Mom would remark about how much she loved the home she shared with her Mother. Mom was employed at the Nutty Club and later the Highway Services Building.
Once Mom became a parent, her priority was building a loving home for her three children, and Mom dedicated many years of her life to providing for them in the best way possible under challenging circumstances. This devotion and compassion for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren is her legacy to each of us as her love was unconditional and without limit. This is what we all think of when we reflect on our life with our Mom.
A Celebration of Mom?s Life will be held in Deaf Centre Manitoba, 285 Pembina Highway, Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Monday, March 16, 2015 at 11:30 a.m.
The family would like to thank Dr. Heather Frame, Christine Hayden and the wonderful staff of Extendicare Oakview Place for their compassionate care and friendship.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to a charity of one?s choice.
