Amelia▼ (née
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON)
With sadness at her passing and joy in her life, the family of
Shirley Amelia
CHESHIRE announce her death, after a long illness,
on Friday, March 10, 2006. Shirley was born on June 20, 1918
in Oil Springs, Ontario, the fourth child of George
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON
and Margaret
WILLIAMS.
She▼ was predeceased by her older siblings,
Russell▼ (d.1909) and Florence
LIMON
(Archie▼) and is survived
by her older brother, Kemp
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON
(Joan▼) of Kitchener. In 1944,
Shirley▼ married John Robertson
CHESHIRE of Wiarton, Ontario,
then a lieutenant. Their loving partnership of 62 years gave
great joy to them, their family and Friends. John gives thanks
for the life of his dear wife. Shirley was a loving and proud
mother to Robert and his wife, Rosamund DA
GAMA, and to Pamela
and her husband, Jim
GALLAGHER.
She▼ was a doting grandma to Robert's
children, Katie and David, and to Pamela's children, Kevin and
Shannon. She is remembered with sweet affection by many nieces
and nephews and a great circle of Friends. Shirley's parents
gave her a bright and wise mind, a loving nature, the gift of
music, a belief in hard work, deep Christian values, a commitment
to community service, strong Canadian patriotism, pride in her
Scots and Welsh roots, and the love of a good party! She never
let heart problems, contracted at the age of five, get in the
way of an active purpose-filled life. When she and John met,
she was already the acting manager of a trust company branch.
Her management and financial skills assisted her as she served
in many positions notably as President, Municipal Chapter of
Toronto and
as Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire
National Treasurer. In Imperial Order of the Daughters of the
Empire, Shirley co-initiated annual book awards for children,
encouraged projects with Canada's First Nations, and children's
health care. She served on a number of boards, including the
Children's Centre, North York General Hospital. In the mid-70s,
John's▼ firm,
PPG
Canada,▼ nominated her the firm's citizen of
the year. Chosen, she was honoured in Pittsburgh and threw the
first pitch at a Pirates game. Each year an award is presented
in Shirley's name at the Kiwanis Music Festival, Toronto; generously
she contributed family antiques to the national museum in Oil
Springs, Ontario. Over time, Shirley and John lived in Debert,
Nova Scotia, Moncton, London and Toronto, but a constant in their
lives was summers at their cottage at Oliphant, Ontario. Interment
of Shirley's ashes will take place nearby, in Wiarton's Bayview
Cemetery, this summer. Friends may call at the Turner and Porter
Butler Chapter, 4933 Dundas Street West, Etobicoke (between Kipling
and Islington Aves.) from 2-4 p.m., and from 7-9 p.m. on Tuesday,
March 14. A celebration of Shirley's life will be held at Humber
Valley United Church, 76 Anglesey Blvd., on Wednesday, March 15
at 11 a.m. Light refreshments will be served at the church, after
the service. In lieu of flowers, gifts for work with Canadian
youth may be entrusted to The National Chapter of Canada Imperial
