Shirley (Card) Steward

It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of our Mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Shirley Steward (Card) at Uxbridge Hospital on August 10, 2023,  peacefully in her sleep at the age of 93.

Mom was born in then what was called Scott Township on June 3,1930, to parent Leslie and Irene Card, joining with siblings Allan Card and Wilma Doucette (both predeceased). She is survived by her children, Elaine, Bonnie (deceased), Darlene, Sandra, Brian, Denise, Tanya, Derek (deceased) and Darryl.  We remember also, her partner in life, Larry, whom she spent a number of good, loving years together. Missing her also, will be her little dog companion whom she loved dearly, Yogi.

She always liked to keep herself busy, usually knitting beautiful blankets and coverlets for her family.  Her lovely embroidered work was lovingly made until her fingers got sore and she could no longer hold the small needles. She was a wonderful mother who supported and loved her family her whole life through the many highs and lows of our lives, always there for each one of us. A long and beautiful life you had – you will be missed by all those that LOVED you.

  “Perhaps they are not the stars but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy”

A Celebration of Life has been arranged at the Uxbridge Legion, 170 Franklin Street, Uxbridge from 1:00 to 4:00 pm, Sunday, August 27, 2023, for family and friends to gather in remembrance. For online condolences please visit www.lowandlow.ca
