Shirley Critchlow was born on April 15, 1940 and passed away on November 2, 2025, surrounded by family.  She lived a life defined by kindness , laughter, and compassion for both people and animals.

Shirley is survived by her children Timothy Critchlow, Richard (Tracy) Critchlow, Deborah (David) Williams; her grandchildren Jenna (Noah) Henderson, Noah Critchlow, Kaitlin, Claire, Allison Williams; and by the many "Stafford Road Kids" who grew up alongside her own kids and never stopped being a part of "Mother Critchlow's" extended family.  She was predeceased by her son Daniel Critchlow.

Shirley's gentle spirit, easy smile, and friendly nature made her a bright spot in every room.  The biggest joy in her life was being a grandmother and watching her grandchildren grow.  Her family is deeply grateful for the compassionate care she received from the staff at The Continuing Care Center at Thompson Hospital.
