HUCKINS: Shirley

Shirley Ruth Huckins (Nee Marwick) of Goderich, passed away at the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in the early morning hours of Saturday March 23, 2019 in her 93rd year. Beloved mother of Janet Huckins of Manitoulin Island and the late John James, Jeffery Alan and Jerry Edward. Loving grandmother of Shannon Rae Huckins of Toronto. Predeceased by her husband Gerald Reginald Huckins, parents John and Millie Marwick and sister Mildred Marwick. Shirley will be sadly missed by her Knox Presbyterian church family, as well as her Harbour Hill family. She set an example for many of how to live life to the fullest with an attitude of gratitude and remained excited and curious about life’s journey. She was a painter, a poet and writer, an authority on the history of Goderich, a nature and animal lover and the ultimate “good sport”. At her request, no visitation or funeral service will be held. Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday May 25th, 2019 at Harbour Hill (104 Suncoast Drive East, Goderich, ON) from 2 – 4 PM. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society can be made through the McCallum and Palla Funeral Home.
