Obituary of Shirley Lu Wright (née Brennan)

Surrounded by her family on Wednesday, March 2nd, 2016 at Victoria Hospital, Shirley Wright of London, in her 85th year. Cherished wife of the late Edward (1986). Beloved mother of Fred Wright of Alvinston and Lynda Wright of Toronto. Wonderful sister and best friend of Barbara Thorne. Predeceased by her brothers Arthur, Leonard, Percy, Fred and Charles. Missed by several nieces and nephews. Shirley was employed at Spartan Canada for many years. After that, she was always busy with fostering children, and later, with day care, devoting herself to many, many children over the years, some of whom now have babies of their own, and continued to stay in touch with her. Shirley was a faithful, staunch member of All Saints’ Anglican Church in London for years where she wore many hats: organizing euchre nights with lunches; raising funds for the seniors in her community; making pies and goodies for church fundraisers; serving on the 'Envelope Committee'; and heading the Anglican Church Women (A.C.W.) and the Tea and Topics Fellowship (T&T). Over the last few years, she, regrettably, retired and passed those hats on to other dedicated volunteers. Visitation will be held at WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Sunday, March 13th, 2016 from 2:00-4:00 and 7:00-9:00 p.m. The funeral service will be held at ALL SAINTS’ CHURCH, 249 Hamilton Road, London, on Monday, March 14th, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. with visitation one hour prior. Cremation to follow with interment in Grove Cemetery at a later date. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Shirley are asked to consider All Saints’ Anglican Church.
