Shirley Ruth MacMillan (née McFadden)
April 14, 1929 - January 17, 2016
Shirley passed peacefully at 86 in Victoria with her daughter by her side. She was the daughter of George Albert McFadden and Marion Wilson McFadden of Toronto. Shirley was predeceased by her loving husband of 53 years John MacMillan and her older brothers Don and Jim McFadden.
Born in Toronto, Shirley shared an adventurous heart. She took great pride in cycling around Europe for a year with two girlfriends in 1953. On another trip with friends driving a Chevy across Canada in 1954, Shirley met John; they were married in 1955.
Shirley kept a beautiful garden at their Joyce Avenue home. She enjoyed hiking, fishing and boating trips to Desolation Sound on the Kirsty B. She was a passionate reader of history.
Despite many medical challenges, including breast cancer, surgery for a brain tumour in 1992, a cochlear implant and dementia in her later years, Shirley held on to her great sense of humour and positive, joyful outlook on life. Friends remember her as one who “Never complained about anything,” saying, “She was so easy to love.”
Shirley had a deep and abiding love for her children and will be greatly missed by son Rob, wife Donna and children Lindsay and Andrew; Jamie, and wife Carla; Cathy, husband Chris and son Emmett; and family in Ontario and Australia.
A service for Shirley will be held at Powell River United Church, 6932 Crofton Street, on Saturday, August 6 at 3 pm. Messages of condolence may be sent to [email protected].
Marcel Nadeau
November 20, 1932 - July 24, 2016

Marcel was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend. He will be remembered for his generous heart, unconditional love and sense of humour. We cannot forget his love for wine and cheese, playing cards and having good times with friends.
Prayers will be held at Church of the Assumption on Wednesday, July 27, at 7:30 pm, followed by a funeral on Thursday, July 28, at 11 am, also at Assumption. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Powell River General Hospital.
