Our precious and dear mother, Shirley Ruth Visser (Baker) passed away on December 24, 2022, in Red Deer, AB, at the age of 85.

Her favorite hobbies were spending countless hours riding her horse, playing bingo and watching her two favourite sports teams, the Edmonton Oilers and, the Toronto Blue Jays. She never missed a game.

 

Shirley was a devoted, loving and caring mother who was immensely proud of her family, and leaves behind beautiful memories.

 

Remembering Mom

Mom, you will always be the light

that shines down on us from above

To guide us when we are lost

And need that gentle nudge

That can only come from you.

 

Shirley never wanted to be the centre of attention, and her wishes were not to have a funeral services.
