ALLNUTT, Shirley Yvonne

Shirley passed away on January 19, 2019 at the age of 84. She is survived by her daughters Jo-Anne Dooley, Carol Brown, Linda (Dave) Morrow and Pat Allnutt; son Howard (Trish) Allnutt; nine grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; sister Myrna (Rodney) Sullivan; and brother Darryl (Chris) Reid. Shirley is predeceased by her loving husband Sidney Allnutt and her parents Wilba and Lyle Reid.

Shirley was born in Vancouver in 1934 and raised in both Vancouver and Sooke, BC. After High School in Kitsilano, she married the love of her life, Sid Allnutt. She spent the next 30 years raising her five children in Vancouver while working full time cooking in bakeries and cafeterias. In 1994, after Sid passed away, Shirley moved to Kelowna and opened Magpie Bed and Breakfast where she had the joy of feeding and taking care of her guests.
After 10 years she retired, but continued cooking for friends and family. Shirley was a unique soul who loved to feed people. She was a loving mother and wife, generous with her time, food and love.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, should family and friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, www.cancer.ca.

So sorry to hear of Shirley's passing. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. I stayed at Shirley's Magpie Bed & Breakfast in 1995 and then again in 2001 when I came from Germany 36 weeks pregnant. She was so kind to find me a doctor and drive me around to all of my appointments. She was a wonderful, kind lady with a big heart. I'm so sad to have lost contact with her and some of her children that I have met.

May all your memories bring you comfort at this difficult time.

Love,

Olga

I'm so sorry to here that Shirley's not with us anymore. My condolences to all the family, I'm sure she will be greatly missed. I knew Shirley for a long time, meeting her at the YMCA years ago. When she moved to Lake Country I used to visit her when she lived at her daughters house. She was always such a kind soul and a joy to talk to. Memories are forever and I know she must of made a lot of those. God Bless my friend & Rest In Peace.

Love, Rita Chase
