Shirley White

White, Shirley Marie (nee Paul)- It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Shirley on September 24, 2013 at Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare with her family by her side after a brief but valiant battle with cancer. Born in Listowel, Ontario in 1934, Shirley was the daughter of the late George and Marion Paul of Acton. In 1954, Shirley married her best friend Donald. They resided in Georgetown for many years where they raised their family before moving to Brampton and then to Gravenhurst upon their retirement. Shirley was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. She always put family before all else and we will all miss the family gatherings. Shirley was a great hostess and her attention to detail was exemplary. Shirley had a great love for family and friends but was most proud of her grandsons and their accomplishments. Shirley is survived by her loving husband of 59 years, Donald, daughters Susan and her husband Stephen Graham of Georgetown and Shelley and her husband Paul Uren of Wasaga Beach.
