Shirley Jean Brown

August 7, 1954 - November 20, 2025

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Shirley Jean Brown (née Bale) on November 20, 2025, at Rosetown Hospital. She was surrounded by her loving family.

Shirley is survived by her devoted husband of 50 years, Harley; son Ryan (Michelle, Cooper, Riley, Eric); daughter Nyree (Mike, Aiden, Mya) Masse; and daughter Shiral (Mark, Calvin, Elsie-May, Clarke) Skelton. She is also survived by her sisters Mary (Gerald) Hayes and Sandy Wright; brothers-in-law Kendal and Elwood Brown; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her parents, Willard and Dorothy Bale; sisters infant baby girl, Ethel Lynn and Betty McNabb; nephew Theo McNabb; brothers-in-law Gordon Wright and Allan Brown; and in-laws Langford and Elsie Brown.

Born on August 7, 1954, in Elrose, Saskatchewan, Shirley’s life was defined by her unwavering commitment to family and her deep desire to help others. Shirley was a devoted wife, an extraordinary mother, and a proud Granny. Her family was her heart, and she poured her love into every one of them. Her kindness, strength, and generosity touched the lives around her. Her legacy lives on in her children and grandchildren, in the values she instilled, and in the love she gave so freely. Her devotion to helping others was highlighted in the 50+ years she worked in the surrounding communities as an LPN and in the Elrose Doctor’s Office.

Shirley was a proud member of the Forgan Community Club, Forgan Cemetery Committee, and the Royal Canadian Legion Elrose Branch #206.

A service to honour Shirley’s life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on November 26th at Wiseton Hall.

The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to Dr. Robertson and the amazing nursing staff at Rosetown Hospital for their compassion in caring for Shirley.

Memorial donations may be made to the Royal Canadian Legion Banner Fund.
