The death of Shirley MacGregor, Brudenell, PEI, occurred on
Wednesday, September 27, 2016 at the age of 88 in the Kings
County Memorial Hospital. Shirley, youngest child of Russell
and Maude (Campbell) MacGregor of Montague, completed high school in
Montague and immediately began work at the local Bank of Nova Scotia.
Her career with the Bank of Nova Scotia took her to Toronto,
Charlottetown, Calgary, and finally Halifax. Throughout her life
Shirley loved to travel—by ocean liner and plane to various
locations in Europe and also by car across Canada and to the United
States.
With hardly a thought for herself, Shirley left
her career in the bank to care for her aging parents and disabled
nephew Alan. She was always there for people when they needed
her. She thoroughly enjoyed her life on the Island. She
traveled from one end to the other-usually with friends along, taking
in church suppers, plays, musical events and almost anything going on.
She was a wonderful correspondent and kept in touch with friends and
family by letter and email. She was a welcome
visitor—particularly at nursing homes. She was an avid
genealogist with special interest in her MacGregor and Campbell
roots. She was active in the work of the Montague Church of
Christ and gave generously to the church as well as to numerous other
charitable organizations.
Shirley is predeceased by her parents, by her
sister Elsie, her brother Donald and nephew Alan. She is survived by
nephews and nieces: Richard MacGregor, Mary MacLeod (Gordon Callon),
Lee MacLeod (Cathie MacKean), Bruce MacLeod (Paulette Ross) and Karen
(MacLeod) Mazurski (Allen). Also by numerous great nephews
and nieces and by great great nephews and nieces.
