Shirley Ferguson (MacLeod)
Thursday, July 16th, 1931 – Tuesday, January 11th, 2022
Peacefully at the Ottawa General Hospital. Shirley Ferguson (nee MacLeod) of Maxville, age 90 years. Beloved wife of 60 years of Donald Ferguson. Loving mother of Donna of Ottawa and Norman of Maxville. Dear sister of Melba Shaver (late Don) of Toronto. Shirley is predeceased by her brothers Ian (late Helen), William and Campbell (Lois), by her sister Alma Metcalfe (Ian) and by her parents William and Grace MacLeod (nee Campbell).
Shirley graduated as a nurse in 1952 from the Royal Victoria Hospital, then worked with the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) in Montreal. In 1961 she returned home to Maxville to marry and raise her family, then continued her nursing career at the Maxville Manor until she retired in 1999.
Shirley was a sweet and special lady who was loved by all who knew her. She touched the lives of so many (family, friends, patients and even strangers) with her kindness, patience, generosity and genuine love and caring for others. She will be dearly missed and always lovingly remembered.
