BURGESS – Shirley L., 83, of Port Mouton, Queens County, passed away peacefully in Mahone Nursing Home, Mahone Bay on Tuesday, November 21, 2017.
Born in Port Mouton, she was a daughter of the late Percy and Wilhelmina “Mina” (Smith) Roy.
Shirley worked as a housekeeper at White Point Beach Lodge and the Oxbow Motel in Shelburne for a few years, but worked mostly at the former C.W. MacLeod Fisheries, later Clearwater Seafoods in Port Mouton. She enjoyed cooking, baking, shopping and accompanying her late husband, Purney, on long haul drives transporting goods from Canada to the US. Most of all, Shirley enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, especially her good friend, Marie. She will be sadly missed but always fondly remembered.
Shirley is survived by her daughter Rosalie Burgess-Croft (Michael Croft) of Western Head; her son Christopher (Jean) of Bush Island and her sister Syvilla (Milton) Burgess of Port Mouton.
Besides her parents and her husband Purney; Shirley was predeceased by her son Loran, her grandson Ryan, her sisters Evangeline Roy, Blanche Bowers, Barbara Fisher and her brother Jordan.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool. A private family graveside service will be held at later date in Southwest Port Mouton Community Cemetery. No flowers. Donations may be made to the Queens General Hospital foundation, Mahone Nursing Home, Mahone Bay or the Canadian Cancer Society. Online condolences may be made to www.chandlerfuneral.com. Shirley’s family would like to thank the staff at Mahone Nursing Home and Dr. Raymond for their special care and compassion for our mom, Shirley.

Rosalie, Mike and the entire Burgess Family : I just saw your Mom’s obituary on-line in travels. I can only say how VERY, VERY Sorry I am and was when reading this on-line from Myanmar. Shirley and your Dad and I had more than a few good laughs & stories, about a lot of local things in the old days back in Queens County, even when you two weren’t there, and I shall never forget either one of them for sure !!! I know the both of you are indeed going through a rough period of time thru all of this and I won’t make this a long message as you have so many other issues and things to take care of right about now. I just want you all to know that as far away as I am right now, that I am still thinking about you both and what a Great woman Shirley was and will continue to be in the next life with Purney……..sincere sympathy all around to all of the Burgess Family….best regards and thinking of you all………….Tim MacArthur
