Shirley Yvonne (Thomson) Vancott

                                      Beloved Mother, Sister, Nanny, Grandma,
                                 Great Grandmother, Aunt, & Friend to so Many.
It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the passing of Shirley Yvonne VanCott, in her 88th year,
on June 15, 2024 from stroke related complications at her residence at HJ McFarland Home in
Picton. Shirley was predeceased by her husband Glen VanCott, her parents Robert and Irene
Thompson and siblings Mildred Kerr, Linda Weese, and Timothy Thompson.
She is mourned by a legacy: Children: Joyce Drouin (Syl), Al VanCott (Cindy), Kathy VanCott, and
Velma Reid (Mark); her five loving siblings: Bernice Tuttle (Seburn), Carol Ellis (Bernie), Beverly
Thompson (Stan), Connie Monk, and Damon Thomson, and her thirteen amazing grandchildren who
loved her dearly: Michelle Wudkevich (Norm), Ryan VanCott (Kailee), Joshua VanCott (Shawnda),
Lucas VanCott, Christopher VanCott, Rory VanCott, Adam VanCott (Rachel), Blake Carr (Sherry),
Brent Carr (Faye), Mitchell Reid (Michelle), Alicia Reid (Zac), James Hennessy (Jenna) and
Samantha Hennessy.
Shirley will no doubt be watching over her children, grandchildren, and her over twenty-one
great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
“Shirley was best known for her ability to satisfy the palate with any kind fish that made its way into
her kitchen, and the best taffy tarts in Milford!” Her sense of humor will certainly be missed, and
reflected upon daily.
Special thanks goes out to the amazing team at H.J.McFarland for the incredible care and sensitivity
they gave mom.
A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date in Glenfield, ON.
