MILLIE, Shirley Jean, (nee Tanner)

Of Victoria, B.C. October 3, 1939 - April 1, 2006. Jean passed away quietly at home surrounded by family and friends after a short fight with cancer. Predeceased by her husband Donald Allen, her parents George and Grace Tanner. Survived by her children Mona Lisa Cameron, Rodney Allen, John Peter, and Donald Edward Millie. She is also survived by her sisters Fay, Ann and Helen, her son-inlaw Robert, daughters-in-law Marissa, Vivienne, Cindy, Patricia, Linda and "daughter" Keyo, five grandchildren Scott, Anne, Allyssa, Brandon and Trevor. She joined the Canadian Air Force in 1957. One year later she married Don and moved to France, then Summerside PEI in 1962, and Trenton Ontario in 1968. The family returned to Summerside in 1976 where Don retired and Jean opened her first cake store. After Don's passing, Jean returned to school at age 45, enrolling in Hotel Motel Management with Loyalist College. She moved on to Victoria, B.C. to begin a new life, working with the Greater Victoria Hospital. She was a wonderful Mother who taught her family the true meaning of love and laughter. We would also like to acknowledge the presence of an angel named Keyo who cared for Mom as though her own. She has now become an important part of the family. We will love you for always and ever Mom. A memorial service and interment will be planned for early summer at the Glassville Cemetery in New Brunswick. Service information will be available from [email protected] In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated.
