My thoughts are with Pete and Karen and Jamie, Liam, Thomas and Noah at this sad time. Shirley was a beautiful lady inside and out. I saw her many times supporting her Grandsons at sporting and school events alongside our 3 boys.
Much love, Merrin

I'll miss her so much. She hosted our Bible study for many many years with dear George. A woman of incredible faith and courage. She'll be having a wonderful time with her beloved George and her Blessed Saviour.

It is with sadness we learned of Shirley's passing and our sincere sympathy is extended to her family. Shirley has been a cherished member of our "Thursday Bible Study Group" for several years. We valued her biblical knowledge, insights, convictions, encouragement, wisdom & hospitality. We were enriched by her words & prayers. Shirley will be greatly missed but we rejoice she is with her beloved Saviour. Barbara Bentham, Hope Rolleston

Shirley was a very old friend from Invercargill years. Met at the local swimming pool. Shirley and George came from the Uk as we did and although I haven't seen her in a long time have not forgotten what a caring selfless woman and good friend she was. My sympathy to all her family .
Rest well Shirley.
