Shirley Ann (Whalen) Kearns

Shirley Anne was the devoted wife of Francis Kearns (deceased). She was born in Stoco, ON to Stafford and Mary Whalen and was adored by her 8 brothers; John, Jimmy, Aevon, Ronnie, Harold, and Ford who predeceased her and her surviving brothers Danny (Linda) and Glen(Freda).  Shirley was loved by her children; Kathy, Danny, Stephen (deceased), Rick (Marianne) and Kim.  She was proud of her grandchildren Hailey and Ricky and her great grandchildren Sophie, Sabrina, and Julian. She will be always remembered by her many nieces and nephews. 

The family would like to recognize the care shown by all the staff at Friendly Manor during her time there.  Shirley Anne's beautiful smile, caring soul, and loving heart, never dimmed in face of challenges and all who loved her will remember that.
