Shirley Ann Banks an inspirational, sharp witted, and loving wife, mother and friend peacefully passed on July 30, 2021. During her 81 years she unconditionally supported her communities and family. She enjoyed playing cards, solving puzzles, traveling, and nature. Towards the end she fought dementia with incredible strength and was ultimately overcome and peacefully transitioned to heaven. Mom/Gma is survived by her children, Ann and her husband David, Philip, Paul and his wife Gaetan, 5 grandchildren Olivia, Kathryn, Victoria, Warren, and Joseph. In honor of her we will maintain her traditions and values as the core of our lives and families. We are grateful for all your guidance, support, love, and sacrifice. May her peaceful soul be joined in heaven with her loving husband, Joe, bringing them together once again and forever in joyful eternity. In lieu of formal services, the immediate family will be gathering at a later date to privately celebrate their mom/Gma. If you wish to recognize Shirley please support the research to understand Dementia or those that are fighting against it.
