Shirley Marie MURPHY

WHITE, Shirley Marie (Murphy) 1932-2005 Fearfully, this vessel may not weather another storm; so I now bid my fond farewells to: Westport, my home for twenty years and all who influenced my growth and nurtured my spirit; my colleagues at the Bank of Montreal in Kingston where I spent a short time; the community at Black Lake near Stanleyville which entrusted its children to me for the two years I taught there; the staff, students and parents of Elizabeth Park Public School R.C.A.F. Uplands for t hree good years; Kingston for the last forty-six years and the staff, students and parents of the Frontenac Lennox and Addington County Roman Catholic Separate School Board where I was influenced by so many wonderful people who enriched my soul and m ade my journey smoother; the many health workers and family who have treated me with kindness, dignity and respect; and the many people who repaired and maintained our home. You know who you are, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. May we me et again.
