| 11. |  Shirley Joan Peel (3.Doris2, 1.Florence1) was born on 24 Dec 1929 in Cabri, Saskatchewan, Canada; died on 14 Dec 2022 in Mississauga, York, Ontario, Canada. Notes:
Died:
A Life Well-Lived - Shirley Joan (Peel) Noltie, 1929 - 2022
It is with deepest sadness that we give notice of the passing of Shirley Joan (Peel) Noltie. Shirley was born December 24, 1929, in Cabri, Saskatchewan, to Doris Emma Louise Peel (n?e Derman) and Wilfred Peel (both immigrants from England). Shirley died mid-day on December 14, 2022, just days before her 93 rd birthday and, fittingly, just a few short months after the death of her beloved husband (Chuck).
Shirley's first home was a spartan wooden farmhouse located on the prairie of southwestern Saskatchewan, just east of the Great Sand Hills. Money was tight, her father was a wounded WWI veteran, and life was challenging (especially during winters, droughts, and economic downturns). Nonetheless, she reminisced about those times with much fondness, appreciative of the pioneer/homesteader/sodbuster life that fostered hard work, diligence, frugality, simplicity, utility, and a love of animals and "big skies". Chores and play were shared with her older sister (Ernestine), as were the long treks to school, church, and town.
The Great Depression made farming untenable where they were, and so the family moved to Calgary, Alberta, in 1937, into a quaint home on 8 th Avenue NE. In Calgary, Shirley first finished public and high school. After choosing nursing as a profession, she then graduated from Crescent Heights Collegiate Institute, and subsequently completed Registered Nurse's training at Calgary General Hospital in 1952. Later, she moved to Victoria, British Columbia, where she undertook post-graduate nursing training at Royal Jubilee Hospital in 1954. Returning to Calgary, she worked at her
alma mater as an operating room nurse, where her skills and exemplary practices were applied to both surgery and to teaching nurse trainees, which led to her becoming a credentialed Operating Room Clinical Instructor in 1954. Despite putting her nursing career on hold to marry and raise a family, she never lost contact with her CGH nursing classmates. For her, the work was a calling, and she returned to nursing (in a private practice office) after becoming an empty nester. She also nursed her husband for some years at home, until their mutual declining health necessitated one final move.
It was while nursing in Calgary that she agreed to go on a blind date with an up-and-coming businessman from London, Ontario, working for the Ford Motor Company. Chuck (M. Charles) Noltie proved to be the love of her life, and their 1955 wedding began a 67-year year partnership that continued until Chuck's death on May 25, 2022, at age 92.
Career advancement at Ford saw the pair move to and then leave a number of cities in western Canada (including Edmonton, Regina, and Winnipeg). Shirley claimed that she knew when a move was coming, because she would just have gotten the new house organized and the flowers planted. During a return posting to Calgary, the couple celebrated the arrival of a son in 1958, the birth occurring at Calgary General Hospital (of course!).
Shirley left the west (somewhat unwillingly) when the threesome moved east in 1960 to Mississauga, Ontario (then Port Credit) due to another job transfer. Their house on Wateska Boulevard became the family home for 56 years, their reluctant 2016 departure from which was the result of declining health. It was to that home that they welcomed two additional sons (1962, 1965) and a daughter (1966). Sunrise Senior Living in Mississauga was their final address, the care there being outstanding.
As something of an interlude, Chuck was transferred to Montr?al, Qu?bec, for a four-year stint spanning 1973 to 1977. Home there became Pinetree Crescent in Beaconsfield (part of Montr?al's West Island). Different schools, a new language and cultural milieu, and novel sport pursuits and hobbies, made the time in Montr?al an enriching experience. The family then returned to Mississauga where Chuck and Shirley resided in their Wateska home for nearly four more decades. Chuck ended his Ford career in 1990, and the pair enjoyed a lengthy and satisfying retirement.
In 1977, the family acquired a cottage ("Loon Lodge") on Cameron Lake in the Kawarthas, which became the hub of family activities on weekends throughout the year, and later for vacations involving the children and grandchildren. Numerous family celebrations occurred there, forming the basis of many fond memories (compensating to a degree for Shirley's annoyance at having another dwelling to maintain).
While not overtly demonstrative with her affections, Shirley was a model mother. She was a fastidious housekeeper, nursed illnesses, supported her children's scholastic pursuits and extracurricular endeavors, orchestrated elaborate children's birthday parties, encouraged faith, manners and good behaviour, and tended to everyone's needs before her own.
She was also extremely talented - she excelled as a cook and baker and at canning (jams, relish, pickles, preserves, fruit, and vegetables, usually hand-picked); she was a talented seamstress (children's clothes early on, and all Halloween costumes were home-made, as were a succession of Chuck's housecoats); she was accomplished at knitting, crocheting, silk screening, cake decorating, rug hooking, maintaining family scrap books, vegetable and flower gardening, and doing crafts with her grandchildren. She loved nature, especially the backyard birds she bribed with seed, suet, and squirrel deterrents. Although basically a homebody, she traveled extensively with Chuck across an array of countries, broadening her horizons (but less so her palate!).
A theme in Shirley's life was service - to family, community, and church. She was active in Guiding, serving first as leader and ultimately as a much-respected but unassuming District Commissioner.
She was a devout and devoted member of St. Stephen's-on-the-Hill United Church for more than 60 years (save four years spent at Beaurepaire United Church in Beaconsfield); she sang in the SSOTH choir for several decades, served as an elder, and was a dependable and willing volunteer for numerous activities and programs. She was a trusted and devoted neighbour and friend, and could always be counted on to lend a hand.
Above all, Shirley had a deep love of family, both immediate and extended - she adored her parents, was especially fond of her elder sister, was a model aunt to her nieces and nephews and their children, and fondly maintained ongoing contact with her relatives near and far (by distance and relatedness).
Shirley's passing at Trillium Hospital in Mississauga was somewhat unexpected, but occurred quietly and with dignity. A bedside observance followed. Shirley is survived by (i) a son, Douglas [wife Elaine; daughter Aislinn with husband Keegan Wright and son Kieran; daughter Brianne; daughter Caitlynn], (ii) a son, Brant [wife Patricia; daughter Dayna with husband Tyler Duprey; daughter Kirsten; daughter Leigh-Anne], (iii) a son, Keith [wife Elizabeth; daughters Miyah, Janna, and Emma], and (iv) a daughter Karen [daughter Tricia with husband Roy Resende and girls Layla and Londyn; son Gregary; daughter Maddison]. Shirley was pre-deceased by her parents (Wilf and Doris Peel), and by her sister and brother-in-law (Ernestine and Arthur Harden). An array of nephews and nieces remain, as do relatives in western Canada, England, and in other Commonwealth countries.
Shirley leaves behind family members who cherished her so, and who will carry her memory on their hearts always. Her love was expressed in her actions and her giving and devoted nature. She was the glue that held her family together. Words fail in expressing how much we loved and now miss her.
A public Celebration of Life for both Shirley and Chuck is scheduled for Saturday, June 24, 2023 (coincidentally Shirley's half birthday), at St. Stephen's-on-the-Hill United Church, 998 Indian Road, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5H 1R5 (Lat . 43?32'27.87" N; Long 79?36'54.98" W) . Interment in the Peel family plot in Queen's Park Cemetery, Calgary, will follow at a later date.
Shirley married Mervyn Charles Noltie in 1955. Mervyn (son of Charles W. Noltie and Violet M. E. Perry) was born on 9 Feb 1930 in London, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada; died on 25 May 2022 in Mississauga, York, Ontario, Canada; was buried . [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
