Notes:

Saturday, 01 Apr 2006 Saanich News Saanich, BC MILLIE, SHIRLEY JEAN nee Tanner of Victoria,B.C. Oct 3, 1939 - Apr 1, 2006 Jean quietly ended her fight with cancer Saturday, surrounded by family and friends. She is predeceased by her husband Donald Allen. She is survived by her children Mona Lisa Cameron, Rodney Allen, John Peter, and Donald Edward Millie, her son in law Robert, daughters in law Marissa, Vivienne, Cindy, Patricia, Linda and “daughter” Keyo, five grandchildren Scott, Anne, Allyssa, Brandon and Trevor. She joined the Canadian Air Force in 1957. One year later she was married to Don, and posted to Grostequin, France, where Lisa and Rod were born. The family returned to Summerside, PEI in 1962 and remained until 1968. During this period their second son John was born. They were then posted to Trenton, Ontario for eight years where a third son, Eddie (Don), was born. In 1976 the family returned to Summerside where Don retired and Jean opened her first cake store. After Don’s passing, Jean courageously returned to school at age 45, with Loyalist College in Belleville, Ontario graduating with honours. She moved on to Victoria, BC to begin a new life, working with the Greater Victoria Hospital until health issues forced her to retire early. She was a wonderful Mother who taught her family the true meaning of love and laughter. The family would like to send a huge thanks to Dr. Jim Melling for his comforting guidance, many visits and awesome bedside manner. We would also like to acknowledge the presence of an angel named Keyo. Her love and care for Mom was as great as if it were her own Mom, she has now become an important part of our family. Keyo’s tender nursing care gave Mom great comfort and friendship. A great thank you to all who loved and cared for Mom during this journey including Doctors, Nurses, and home care - too many good ones to name individually - but Dave and Landis you will remain in our hearts! We will love you for always and ever Mom. A memorial service and interment will be planned for early summer at the Glassville Cemetery in New Brunswick. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated. ***************************************************************************** MILLIE, Shirley Jean, (nee Tanner) Friday, April 07, 2006 by: SooToday.com
