Shirle is predeceased by her husband, Odie in 1984 and her parents, Harold (Pete) and Cora (Tot) Wilken and a brother, Garnet Wilken.
Three generations of Wilkens have operated the Post Office in Yellow Grass. Together Odie and Shirle ran it for 21 years. After retirement they enjoyed more curling, travel and their new home.

She loved sports and enjoyed curling with many ladies teams. She was also an original member of the Drop-In Centre in Yellow Grass and for several decades enjoyed taking part there.

and friends throughout her lifetime.
