Obituary of Shirley Eleanor Stanley

The death of Shirley E Stanley of Nauwigewauk, beloved wife of the late Roy D Stanley occurred peacefully on June 19, 2022, at her home.  Born in Saint John NB, December 17, 1937, she was the daughter of the late Neil and Mary (Taylor) Titus, of Kingston NB.  Shirley was a faithful and active member of Saint Paul’s Anglican Church in Hampton.   She enjoyed reading (and we all knew not to touch her morning paper until she did first), bowled on the Morning Glories League in Quispamsis, delivered Meals on Wheels for many years and was a member of the Beaus and Belles Square Dance Club, where her and Roy made lifelong friends and relationships.   Many happy memories were made at Sunrise Shores over 30 years with many of these same people.   She spent several years as a faithful volunteer at the Dr Snow Nursing home and looked after “Shirley’s Café” at her church.

Shirley is survived by her six children: Brent Stanley (Janice) of Nauwigewauk, Kimberley McCormick (Frank) of Rothesay, Tanya Henderson (Mark) of Nauwigewauk, Janice Bates (Bob) of Belleisle, Krista MacDonald (Jarl) of Berwick, Brad Stanley (Kristina) of Rothesay and special granddaughter Amy-Jo Henderson of Rothesay for a total of 19 grandchildren and 21 more great grandchildren.  She is also survived by her sister and best friend, Marilyn Craft; brothers: Allison Titus (Sue) and William “Bill” Titus (Phyllis); sisters-in-law: Joyce Titus, Shirley Flegg (Murray) and Glena Stanley; and brothers-in-law: Keith and Ronald Stanley; as well as several nieces and nephews.  She was also predeceased by her brother Neil “Bud” Titus; granddaughter Jenny; nephew Trevor; as well as several brothers and sisters-in-law.

We are so thankful to Jolie Budrow-Girouard, Pam Moulton and Raegan Evans-Hoyt for their kindness and incredible home care they provided.  They went above and beyond, and special thanks to mom’s medical team, and the tremendous care she received, special mention to Dr. Fisher & Dr. Daigle Maloney.
