Obituary
LANNEN, Shirley Louise (nee Lang)
Shirley was born in 1940 in Peterborough, Ontario. She died peacefully at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre on Thursday November 7th, 2024 at the age of 84. Shirley grew up on the family farm with her parents and 3 siblings. This is where she learned to love everything about life and sparked an interest in music. Shirley became an accomplished pianist, organist, singer and theatre director. Over the course of her professional career she was a dedicated RPN and Health Care Administrator. Throughout her life Shirley had active roles in the Church at Keene United, St. James United, and spent 34 years as an organist and Director of Music at Greenwood United. She was loved by all who knew her and was everyone’s biggest cheerleader.

Predeceased by parents Stewart and Louise Lang (nee Donaldson), sister Margaret Nurse (Jack) and brother Jake Lang. Shirley will be dearly missed by her brother Donald Lang (Ann); her devoted nieces and nephews and many close friends. All will remember her for her beautiful smile, contagious laugh, generous spirit and giving heart. We would like to thank the Nurses on B4 at PRHC for their care and compassion.
