Shirley Winnifred Frizzell (nee Akre) passed away at Lloydminster Hospital, Lloydminster, SK on November 9, 2025 at the age of 83 years.

Shirley was born in Saskatoon on January 5, 1942. She was the eldest of two sisters and one brother. Her parents were Larry and Winnifred Akre. Her younger years were spent roller skating, taking her cat for bike rides in her bike carrier, taking figure skating lessons and playing tennis. She attended Wilson School, City Park Collegiate and Saskatoon Tech. She took a business course at Saskatoon Tech and worked in a bank for many years. Shirley was very close to her grandparents and spent lots of happy days with them. She loved to watch Gramma make Lefsa on her coal and wood stove. In her teen years her family took in university students as boarders. Harvey was one of them. He ate meals with the family, and his humour and easy-going personality brought some much-needed relaxation and fun to the family. Little did they know that love between Harvey and Shirley would blossom into a courtship and marriage. In 1960 they were married at Third Ave Church, where they pledged their love to each other, in front of 60 guests, enjoying a turkey meal after. They were blessed with three wonderful children.

Harvey passed away on November 10, 2024. They were married 63 years.

Shirley is survived by: her children, Sandra, Terry (Melanie) and Bob (Brenda); grandchildren, Ryan (Rochelle), Darcy, Tyler, Alexandra, Jade, Justin and Riley; great-grandchildren, Taylor, Dakota and Jayke; as well as numerous family members.

As per Shirley's request, no service was held. Memorial donations may be made to Lloydminster Region Health Foundation.

We extend a heartfelt thank you to McCaw Funeral Service, Homecare Services, Lloydminster Hospital staff and we are especially grateful for the care provided by 3rd floor care nurses.
