KIRKPATRICK, Shirley Clare (nee Burton)
1931 - 2023
It is with great sadness and loving memories that we mourn the passing of Shirley Kirkpatrick, Auntie Shirley, on Sunday, August 27, 2023, at the age of 91 years.
Shirley is survived by her sister-in-law, Mary Burton; her many nieces and nephews: Perry Davis, Joy (Jack) Kuehn, Fay (Art Lavoie) Jasman, Prosper Boisvert, Vicki Noel, Eleanor (Ron) Preuss, Louise (Craig) Davis, Shirley (Kevin) Montpetit, Susan Hulbert, Jim (Laurie) Thain, and Barbara (Doug) Halladay; stepson, John (Helen) Kirkpatrick; step-grandchildren, Jason Kirkpatrick, Ashley Kirkpatrick, David Skistod, and Tracy Mundell; and many great and great-great-nieces, nephews, and friends.
Shirley was predeceased by her husband, Pat Kirkpatrick; stepdaughter, Sherrill Ann Skistod; parents, Christopher and Jessie Burton; sister, Barbara (Ernie) Klymchuk; niece, Clare Boisvert; brother, Leonard Burton; nephew, Charles Burton; sister, Joyce (Jim) Goodall; and nephew, Rick Hulbert.
Shirley Kirkpatrick was the youngest of four children born to Christopher and Jessie Burton, south of Edgerton, on September 23, 1931. She was their youngest child and the last living member of their family. Shirley had recently been living in Independent Living, and last week moved to the Edmonton General Continuing Care Centre where she passed away peacefully while in Hospice. She was soon to be 92 in a few weeks, but in those nearly 92 years, Shirley had an abundant and rewarding life, teaching elementary school for 35 years, both in Canada and abroad. She was an avid Bridge player and loved reading in her book club.
We will miss Shirley for her intelligent conversation, wonderful giving nature, appreciation for the arts, and her beautiful smile and guidance through the years. She touched so many lives and that is what we will remember.
The family would like to thank Dr. Noush Mirhosseini, and her team from the palliative care unit, at the University of Alberta Hospital.
A Memorial Service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, September 1, 2023, at Connelly-McKinley Downtown Funeral Home, 10011 114 St NW, Edmonton.
