SHIRLEY GAYLE RILEY Ever Loving GG It is with great sadness that our family announces the peaceful passing of Shirley Gayle Riley, beloved Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Aunt, Sister, Pastor, and Friend to many on July 7, 2014 at Concordia Hospital with her beloved family by her side. Shirley was predeceased by her parents, daughter Debra and stepdaughter Maureen, as well as her brothers Morris, Donald, Terrance and Jack Fisher and sisters Alice Scott, Muriel Rody and Margaret Rowse. She will be greatly missed by her children Richard, Donalda, Ronald and Wade, stepchildren Gail (Ed), Murray and Joanne, one brother Charles Fisher, as well as her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends. Our family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Gene and Raelene Fortney for all the care that they have given her so that she can stay home during her ill time. Also we would like to thank Dr. Harris and the Oncology Team at Concordia as well as Dr. Snovida, the Concordia Emergency Team and N1 South for the care and compassion through this long battle. In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made to CancerCare, ATTN: Look Better Feel Better Program.

  • Shirley, I'm so thankful I was able to meet you in 1997, and again in 2008 we talked on the phone and met again in 2009.. you always thought about me, I loved hearING the stories about my family I never met. I always meant to keep in contact with you. I'm not sure why I never did, you always welcomed me with open arms. It will always be a great regret of mine that after our phone call, in 2013 that we didn't see each other or that I didn't call you. I'm very thankful you met my wife and children. I want you to know that I always thought and cared about you, and I'm so sorry I didn't take the push to pick up the phone more often. . Please know that I'm very sorry please know that you are very loved by me and my family. Love always Neil Riley.. - Posted by: Neil Riley (nephew ) on: Jul 15, 2014

  • Rest in Peace, mum. You welcomed me into your home with open arms, a smile and a big hug, in 1996, and became the mother I didn't have. We could talk like mother and daughter, we had our ups and downs, but you were always there for me whenever I needed you. You had faith in me when I didn't have faith in myself, you helped me learn and grow, so much. When I wanted to give up, you wouldn't let me. I have so many memories, they will stay in my heart as you will. Rest in Peace, mum. Thank you so very much for everything, I love you. - Posted by: Kelly (Daughter in law) on: Jul 14, 2014
