Shirley was born in Winnipeg, MB on April 23, 1943. She was lucky to find true love in Garry Drake and they were married in 1961. They were blessed with a son Tim in 1974 who was their world. Shirley is survived by: her son Tim; sister Edith Pocha; nieces Lori (Terry) Tourond, Delores Pocha; nephew Todd Pocha (Merina) and families; an aunt Iona Lepine and numerous relatives and friends. She was predeceased by: her beloved husband Garry in 1996; her parents Leonard and Ernestine Cox; her father-in-law and mother-in-law Bob and Daisy Drake; brother-in-law Mike Pocha and niece Shelley Pocha.
