Obituary of Shirley Mildred Norrad

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Shirley (Friars) Norrad, wife of the late C. Paul Norrad, announces her passing which occurred on Friday, September 23, 2022, at the Sussex Health Centre. Born on July 26, 1943, in Pembroke, ON, she was the daughter of the late Ora and Myrtle (Parlee) Friars. She was raised in Sussex, NB and spent most of her life in Quispamsis.

During her life, Shirley was a proud stay at home mom, who spent her time affectionately raising her children. She was a loving and caring person. She enjoyed having friends spend time at her cottage and entertaining them. Shirley loved to take drives in the country looking at the scenery.

She is survived by her sons, Daryl and Brad (Jacqueline) Norrad; son-in-law, Greg Perkins; grandchildren: Molly Norrad, Cody and Delaney Perkins; sister Eleanor (Glen) Armstrong; as well as several nieces and nephews.
