Mary “May” Helen Shaw passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by loved ones, on October 24th, 2018 after a difficult battle with cancer.
May was born on May 20th, 1944 to Robert and Margaret Shaw (née Lawson) in Montreal, Quebec at the Royal Victoria Hospital. She is survived by her children Cyndi Alexander and her husband Chad Allan, Todd Alexander and his wife Tracy Higginbottom, her grandchildren Victoria, Caitlann, Savannah, Sydney, Caledonia, Jack, Devon, Ben, Finn and Tristan, her sister Anne Ellis (née Shaw) and her husband Ralph, and her brother-in-law Ross Pearce.
She is predeceased by her parents Robert and Margaret Shaw, and her sister Peggy Pearce (née Shaw).
May was a devoted and loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend who will be remembered for her wonderful sense of humor, wit and feisty personality. Her children and grandchildren were her greatest joy in life and she loved them dearly.
There will be a funeral service, however the arrangements are still being finalized. In lieu of flowers, please hug a loved one and take a moment to express the value they bring to your life. If you would like to donate to a charity, NOVA was wonderful with her and helped us to give her a peaceful end in her bed, in her room, surrounded by us all.
