My sincere condolences to the Martin Family. I've known Shirley and her family my whole life. Shirley played bridge with some wonderful friends and family including my mom. I think Mary is the only original woman still alive. I always liked Shirley, she was always so friendly and smiling at the Curling rink, church activities, in the Martin's store, on the street or anywhere she was. Such a wonderful beautiful woman. RIP Shirley 🌹
