It is with deep sadness that Shirley’s family announce her peaceful passing at the Dartmouth General Hospital on June 17, 2024 just 10 days before her 94th birthday. Shirley was the daughter of the late Walter and Gladys (Graham) Cross, and she lived most of her life in Woodlawn.
She worked for the City of Dartmouth for many years, mainly in the Tax Department.
She is survived by her husband, Edward Hodgson of Dartmouth; daughters, Donna (Joe) Pagnam of Lexington, Virginia and Wendy (Lee) Johnston of Porters Lake; step-daughter, Deb (Monte) Groutage of Santa Ana, California; step-son, Tim Hodgson of Lake Echo; step-grandchildren, Garrett and Sarah Hodgson; brothers, Carl Cross of Dartmouth, Walter (Joy) Cross also of Dartmouth and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her brother, Ronald Cross.
She was a very special lady and she will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Our sincere thanks to all the family, friends and wonderful staff at the Dartmouth General who have helped us at this difficult time.
Memorial service details will be announced at a later date.
