It is with great sadness that the family of Shirley Anne Barron announce her passing at the Dr Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital on Sunday, February 19, 2023.

Shirley was a busy stay at home mom, raising five children. She was a much loved ‘neighborhood mom’ to many, always serving her home baked cookies and treats to all. Everyone loved her great sense of humor and infectious laugh. Shirley was an avid gardener and an exceptional cook as well as a master at crossword puzzles. Shirley adored her grandchildren and they adored their Nana who always made them laugh. Shirley could often be found at her favorite place, our camp on the Miramichi River where she and Mike created many family memories.
