She is survived by her husband, Lew Williams; daughter, Kim Fuller (and Rod); son, Ken Williams (and Robbie); 6 grandchildren, Reilly, Danelle, Leray, Reid, Bailey and Blake; great grandson, Rylan and many friends who she considered part of our family. A Celebration of Life will be held on January 3, 2015, at 11:00 am, at the Elks Hall (where Shirley and her husband, along with family and friends celebrated their 50th Anniversary). A sincere thank you to Dr. Levins, the staff at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital and Mt. Ida Mews, and to all who stopped in to visit, made phone calls, sent cards, food and best wishes.
