Shirley was born in Princeton in 1936 to Pat and Dolly Hambly. She grew up in Copper Mountain and attended high school in Princeton, and teacher training in Vancouver. 

Shirley married Willie in 1958 in Princeton where they raised their family. Shirley was involved in many activities with her children including Nancy Green Ski league, Swim Club, and Junior Curling. She was also active in the curling club, hospital auxiliary, and art & paint classes. Shirley and Willie also enjoyed wintering in Arizona with their travel trailer and spending time at the family cabin they built in Tulameen. 

The family would like to thank the staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice, Dr. Trudeau, Scarlett Raya, and the staff at RIH 5 South. 

Shirley will be greatly missed by all.
