Obituary of Shirley Anne Bartlett (Currington)

July 18, 1936 - May 4, 2022

We know that Mom was sad to leave, but she has been reunited with her daughters Brenda and Barb, whom she missed dearly. She has been our sunshine, our rock, and our protector. She leaves behind her husband of 66 years, Frank, and her children John (Christine), Randy (Brenda), and Bonnie (Mark) St. Peter. She was predeceased by her daughters Brenda (2014) and Barbara (2019), her parents Reginald and Christine, her siblings Joan, Eleanor, Gloria, Bob, Barbara and John, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was the proud grandmother of 18 grandchildren, and great-grandmother of 20 great-grandchildren.

Mom loved gardening, ice skating, knitting, crossword puzzles, reading, and maple walnut ice cream. Mom enjoyed her time working at the Niagara Parks Commission, where she made many lifelong friends. It is hard to say goodbye, but we will always have our memories of the beautiful person our Mom was, and of all the joy she brought to our lives.

In keeping with Mom's wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no service. Arrangements are entrusted to Essentials Cremation and Burial Services (905-354-2133).

Service Information

There are no upcoming public services scheduled or the service has occurred in the past.

I won’t lie when I say I wasn’t the perfect granddaughter but I will say this Grams was the perfect grandmother she filled everyone’s heart with love and care. I remember as a little girl going over before school and enjoying some special quality time with both Grandma and grandpa and after school walking to their house a couple blocks away while my parents were at work. We’d have a sucker from their little candy stash in the closet or some vanilla ice cream with corn syrup because it was her favourite. She was the Angel to our family and I couldn’t have been more blessed to be chosen to be a granddaughter to such an amazing person. And now her 3 great granddaughters not only have a piece of my mom but also a piece of Grandma in their names. We love you and will think of you often. Rest easy Grandma Shirley know momma and Aunt Barb would have been waiting with open arms for you.
