Shirley Irene Patola (Collinge) January 6, 1937 October 22, 2009. Our much loved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend passed away at home, in the company of her family, after a battle with cancer at the age of 72 years. Shirley is survived by sons, Mark (Lindsay) and David (Shannen); granddaughters, Ava and Mira; sister, Marge Foley-Jacob; brother in law, Nick Patola; nieces and nephews; and many friends. She was predeceased by her husband, Walter; parents, Harry and Violet Collinge; and her brother, Wayne. Shirley was born on January 6, 1937 in Eston, SK. She attended grade school in Quill Lake and graduated from high school in Kindersley, SK in 1955. Shirley became a qualified nurse in 1958 and received her B.Sc. in nursing in 1964. She worked as a general duty nurse, a clinical teacher, a researcher and an administrator. Her most rewarding work was the 18 years she spent as the clinic nurse for children and adults with Cystic Fibrosis. She retired in 1998 after 40 years in the profession. Shirley married Walt Patola in 1966. Mark was born in 1971 and David in 1972. Shirley's first grandchild, Ava Jane, was born in August 2007 and her second grandchild, Mira Shirley, was born in April 2009. Shirley was very proud to be a Grandma. Travel was a great enjoyment for her. But her greatest joy came from volunteering her time and helping others; which included her family, her friends and strangers (that were soon to be friends); and she had great memories of all of you. Vigil for Shirley will be held on Monday, October 26, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. from Park Funeral Chapel, 311 3rd Ave N, Saskatoon. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Rev. Fr. Joseph Nsiah on Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. from St. Philip Neri Roman Catholic Church, 1904 Munroe Avenue, Saskatoon.
