Obituary of Shirley Bordman

A beautiful life has come to its end. Shirley, a kind and loving lady, passed away into the arms of her Lord on Saturday, January 8, 2011.

Shirley was the beloved wife of the late Harold Bordman and dear mother of Heather Bacon (Jim). She was predeceased by her parents George and Helen Brandow, her dear aunt and uncle, Marj and Bill Harvey, her sister Joy McCarthy and brothers Gord and Bob Brandow.

As a volunteer for 24 years, Shirley visited patients and supported the work of the Freeport Health Centre of Grand River Hospital.
