Hutchinson, Shirley Anne – Age 79, of Upper Musquodoboit, passed away peacefully on February 15, 2022 at home with her family around her. Born in Musquodoboit Harbour, she was the daughter of the late Melvin and Agatha (Young) Mosher.
Shirley enjoyed her career in nursing at Musquodoboit Valley Memorial Hospital from 1965 to retirement in 2003. Her care showed through with her rural nursing that was blended with diabetic clinics and foot care. Her many years of service in Scouting touched a number of lives and created lasting friendships. Shirley’s creativity, skill and care shone the brightest with her knitting “socks for everyone”.
She will always be loved and missed by siblings, David (Ann), Alan (Donna), Terry; sisters-in-law, Mary and Pru; sons, Randall (Karen), Stacey (Rose), Cory (Kim); daughters-in-law, Anna-Marie, June, Karen; grandchildren, Brandon (Emily), Lucas, Tristan, Evan, Nolan, Amelia; great-grandson, James; step-granddaughter, Haley (Cody); step-great-granddaughter, Lily Ann; many nieces and nephews and the friends she made along the way.
She was predeceased by husband, James “Jim”; brothers, Barry and Michael.
Cremation has taken place.
A family graveside committal will be held later in the spring at Hillcrest Cemetery, Upper Musquodoboit.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Diabetes Canada.
