Obituary of Shirley Florence Zaitsoff
Please share a memory of Shirley to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
May 31, 1955 – Mar 14, 2013
Shirley passed away peacefully on March 14th, 2013, after a long
battle with Huntington’s Disease. She spent her final days surrounded
by family, listening to her children and siblings share their
favourite “mom”-ories.
Shirley was born in Victoria BC, the second of five siblings. She
grew up in Kamloops and Maple Ridge, graduating from Maple Ridge
Secondary School in 1973, and the University of British Columbia with
a BA in Psychology in 1979. Shirley held a special place in heart for
her pets, who are now welcoming her with wagging tails. Shirley also
loved her work helping those with disabilities, bowling, slo-pitch,
and spending summers camping and relaxing in Shuswap Lake.
Shirley is survived by her son James (Heather), daughter Sara (Adam),
siblings Norma (Edward), Neil (Marguerite), Karen (Rob), and Lori
(Michael), and her grand-pets.
The family would like to thank the staff at Evergreen Hamlets and the
ICU of Surrey Memorial Hospital for their kindness and excellent care.
Please join us for a celebration of Shirley’s life on Saturday, March
23, at 11:00 a.m at Garden Hill Funeral Home, 11765 224th Street,
Maple Ridge. Wear blue (Shirley’s favourite colour) and bring your
Shirley stories and bowling shoes (5-pin bowling to follow at 2:30
p.m. – Shirley’s sport of choice).
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Huntington’s Society of Canada
would be appreciated.
