Shirley Anne Runchey passed peacefully at the Misericordia Community Hospital Palliative Care on March 12, 2025. Shirley was born December 1933 in Stettler, Alberta. At a young age the family moved to Edmonton where Shirley lived till her passing. She married Guy William Runchey in 1956 and had 3 children. Later, as a single mother she completed her high school and took on work with the Provincial Government where she worked for 22 years before retiring in 2011. It was a place she cherished for the many friends made.
She is survived by her three children, Kimberly, Guy (Carol) and Larry Runchey.
She was predeceased by her parents Grover (1977) and Yvonne Corless (1987) and her brother Larry John Corless (2023).
Sincere gratitude is extended to the staff at the Villa Marguerite Seniors Residence for their kind and compassionate care over the last couple years.
In lieu of a funeral service we ask that you remember her and celebrate her in your hearts by lighting a candle for her. As per her wishes, Shirley’s ashes will be buried with her parents in Raymond, Alberta later this year.
Rest in peace, Shirley. You will be missed and fondly remembered.
