Shirley LEONARD Obituary

To Shirley's family, especially Linda. Your mum was the tea lady at the old DSW. She was loved by all the staff. We enjoyed it when she brought you kids in during the school holidays. We greatly admired her devotion to Linda and loved to hear of their adventures together. She loved her children equally and was proud of all your achievements big and small. She will be greatly missed by the St Thomas congregation. I have missed seeing her and no that she is at rest.

Linda, debs, kev and familys, so sorry to hear of aunty,s passing, my condolences to you all, may she RIP

My sincere condolences to Linda,Debbie and Kevin

I remember Shirley when she was the tea lady ( refreshments officer) at Timaru Girls High School. A lovely lady who I will always remember. My condolences to Shirley´s family.

I remember Shirley fondly from when she worked as tea attendant at TGHS.
Shirley brought a ray of sunshine to the TGHS staffroom and was always the first to dress up for St Patrick's Day (amongst other occasions). She had a fabulous sense of fun and loved a chat and a laugh but didn't stand for any nonsense. The staffroom sparkled when Shirley was about. RIP Shirley.

Sending love to you all A truly genuine caring lovely lady.Rest In Peace Shirley

Thinking of your all and remembering "Shirl as the best tea lady ever". Every time I smell bleach it brings back memories of the staff kitchen and Shirl soaking her dish clothes. She was so much fun and always good for a laugh. Getting stuck in the lift was a terrible experience for her but provided us with lots of opportunities for some banter with her.

We both grew up in Rakaia and I have the memories of Shirley at the piano, all smiles bringing joy to all.

Sending my condolences to Linda Debbie Kevin and family. Our families have known each other for years and I got to work with Shirley at WINZ and TGHS. Shirl was a delight and was always there with a smile and a yarn. Thank you for being such a delight Shirl. Arohanui and RIP my friend.

Shirl the Pearl... will miss your cheeky smile and banter. Rest easy my friend.

Rest in peace Aunty Shirl with your God and those gone before you.
