Shirley Ella Nissila

Campbell River B.C. passed away suddenly

October 13/21 in Campbell River hospital.

Shirley was born in Lashburn Saskatchewan

to Harvey and Rose McIntyre. She moved with

her parents to Denman Island B.C. in 1949,

and in 1592 moved to Vancouver to study and

become a practical nurse at the Vancouver

Vocational Institute. Moving back to the Island

in 1957, she resided mostly in Courtenay B.C.

where she raised her 3 children.

She is survived by her son Robert Bruce Nissila,

Campbell River B.C., daughters Cheryl (Butch)

Scott-wade, Gran Isle B.C. and Sandi Shaw,

Campbell River B.C. her 4 grandchildren,

Fitzgerald, Victoria B.C. 5 great grandchildren

and 1 great great grandchild. She was

predeceased by her Father and Mother, Harvey

and Rose McIntyre, her brothers Gerald and

Richard and sister Kay Mohr.

In Shirley’s younger days she loved spending

time getting into “mischief” with her closest

friends, many stories over a bottle of wine could

be told of the “road trips” they would take and

the laughs they would share. She also enjoyed

the frustrating game of golf, gardening and

hiking.

Shirley’s family would like to thank the nurses

and care givers at Evergreen for their thoughtful

and compassionate care they provided Mom,

it was wonderful to see the smile they would

bring to her face as they would banter with her

in the halls!

Cremation to follow and at Shirley’s request there

will be no service.
