CROZIER, SHIRLEY ELIZABETH
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, devoted mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend to many, Shirley (Rutter) Hirst Crozier.

During her student days Shirley was a member of the Canadian Naval Reserve and for a time served on the Canadian aircraft carrier, HMS Bonaventure. Shirley was a graduate of Hamilton’s St. Joseph School of Nursing class of 1958.
As a dedicated, caring and highly skilled health professional Shirley worked in the Emergency Department at St. Joseph Hospital; in the community with family physician Dr. Vincent Rudnick, and since 1972 as a nurse practitioner at the McMaster University Medical Centre. In 1980 Shirley was appointed an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Family Medicine . Patients often referred to her as Dr. Shirley.
Shirley’s career exemplified her many good qualities, particularly her love of learning and generosity of spirit. It can best be described as one in which her advise was always sought and respected. As a woman of great conviction, independence and achievement she was devoted to her work, which she truly enjoyed, and to her family, which was her primary focus.
An active and engaged volunteer at St. Paul’s United Church, Dundas and the Dundas Museum & Archives, Shirley was a skilled homemaker and gracious hostess, accomplished award winning gardener; craftier, golf enthusiast, family historian and genealogist. Shirley & Clare enjoyed their many travels: from coast to coast in Canada, Hilton Head Island, Great Britain; the south of France, New Zealand and Australia.
The family would like to thank the Rev. Rick Spies, Rev. Stan Wootton, Dr. Leber (oncologist); Dr. Bates (thrombo clinic), Dr. Mulji (cardiologist), staff at the Juravinski Cancer Centre, Shirley’s medical colleagues, and our many friends for their compassionate care and support.
Friends will be received by the family on Thursday afternoon and evening from 2-4 & 7-9 at the Cattel, Eaton & Chambers Funeral Home, 53 Main Street, Dundas.

Born in Toronto, Bill’s career as a social worker with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind meant moves to London ON, Ottawa, and Hamilton before his retirement as Personnel Director for Ontario in Toronto, his home town. In retirement Bill used his skills to fundraise for the John Milton Society, he was President from 1997 to 2000 and to maintain ties with retirees from CNIB through planning annual regional luncheons in Ontario. Since the 1970’s he has had an interest in personal computers–joining a local club at the library for those who owned Timex/Sinclair computers. The group finally became quite elite when members filtered to only a few, meeting in each others’ homes. Bill loved to sail when he had the chance, to camp, to read. He’d gladly wash dishes when somebody fed him. He walked every day for the past 30 years, dressed for the weather. Friends always welcomed Bill’s cheery nature and whistle. Following his wife Margaret’s lead, Bill made many friends from around the globe at a weekly conversation group for those learning English as a second language. Bill was predeceased by his dear wife Margaret in 2012. They were married for 69 years. He leaves so many memories for his four children and their families: Bill of Burlington, Peter of Toronto, Wendy of Dundas, and Steve of Auckland NZ, 10 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. The family values the love and companionship Bill received from his dear friend Letty. A service celebrating Bill’s life will be held at St. Paul’s United Church, 29 Park Street, West, Dundas. Family and friends are welcome on Thursday August 28 at 2 pm.
