Feb. 11, 1943 - Sept. 13, 2013
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Shirley Ann Pete. She passed away in her home as she requested, surrounded by loved ones.
Shirley is survived by her husband George Peter Pete, children: Richard Christopher, David Christopher, Annette Christopher, Lorie Christopher and Louise Alphonse and Gary Gilbert; 14 grandchildren, 14 great-great-grandchildren, her brothers: Roy Christopher, Fred Christopher, Frank Christopher, George Christopher, Andrew Christopher and surviving sister Hazel Gilbert.
Shirley will be missed dearly by many, her gentle nature, kind smile, warm but strong hugs. We will miss the smell of “fresh bread” baking.
In lieu of flowers Shirley asked that donations be made to the Cancer Society. Her services were held at the Canim Lake Gymasium on September 17, 2013 at 11:00 am. Shirley was then brought to her final resting place by horse and wagon to the Christopher family plot. There were about 100 balloons released as she was laid to rest.
The family would like to thank everyone who came from near and far to support the family.
