Jennings, Shirley Ella Elizabeth Selena – Shirley Ella Elizabeth Selena Jennings passed away peacefully on October 9, 2025 at the age of 86, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and memories that will be cherished forever.
Shirley lived a life stitched together with kindness, generosity, and just the right dash of mischief. She loved cooking, knitting, quilting, baking, and never met a puzzle she couldn’t solve. Her door was always open, her kettle always on, and if you happened to wander into her home, whether it be a friend, family, or friendly stranger, you’d never leave hungry.
Sweet on the outside but known for the occasional cheeky comment that could make even the most serious of guests burst into laughter, Shirley truly had a wit like no other. She was the queen of shopping for sales, only to give most of it away because for her, joy was found in giving, not keeping.
Throughout her life, Shirley shared a special bond with her dogs, each one holding a cherished place in her heart. Her love for her dogs was another reflection of her kind and nurturing spirit - she cared deeply and loved unconditionally.
For nearly seventy years, she found peace watching hummingbirds and admiring the view from her living room window, a special place that witnessed a lifetime of family, laughter, and love.
Shirley was a woman of tenderness, generosity, and quiet strength. A gentle spirit with a wonderful sense of humour, she will be remembered for the love and warmth she brought to every life she touched.
She leaves behind her loving children, Janet (Warren), Chrisie (Mark), Tammy (John), Patricia (Paul), and Tim (Kim); grandchildren, Colin, Alicia, Mark, Justin, Selena, Brandon, Christopher, Paisley, Paige, Brandi, Johnny, Shawn, and Matthew; 24 great-grandchildren, 7 great-great-grandchildren; siblings, David, Harold, Jim, Barbara, and Bonnie; and her dearest friend, Carol Blakeney.
She is reunited with her husband, Allan “Bud" Jennings; mother, Hazel Clarke; daughter, Sherry Faulkner; son, Wyman Jennings; son-in-law, Warren; grandson, Samuel; sister, Betty; and brothers, Howard and Sonny.
Cremation has taken place. Graveside service will take place October 20, 2025 at 1 p.m. in St. John Anglican Church Cemetery, 39 Monument Loop, Head of Jeddore, immediately followed by a Celebration of Life downstairs in Jeddore United Baptist Church.
