It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Shirley Nancy Miller, beloved wife of Max Charles Miller, at St. Joseph’s Home Carmel Hospice, Medicine Hat, on February 10, 2017, at 82 years of age. Shirley was born in Perth, Western Australia on January 10, 1935. She completed her Registered Nurses training at the Royal Perth Hospital in 1957. Her adventurous spirit had her travel to many countries before Canada, where she met and married Max Miller in 1962. Shirley will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 55 years, Max; children, Glenn, Lloyd (Madison), Lynne (Kerry); five grandchildren and one great grandson, along with many family members in Canada and Australia. She was predeceased by her parents, James Thomson Smith and Agnes Wilson Smith (nee Miller); sister, Margret and niece Deanne King of Western Australia. Shirley had simple needs and pleasures which included a great novel, English comedies, HOT cuppa, historical documentaries, current events, flower gardening, crocheting and taking a good long walk. She enjoyed numerous trips to visit her family in Australia, traveling to visit her children and grandchildren and shopping for the ultimate “bargain”. Shirley will be silently remembered by family who will have an interment at a later date.
