Obituary of Julia Agnes Shalala

After a short stay at the Turnbull Home on August 4, 2007, we announce with great sadness the peaceful passing of our dear sister, aunt and friend "Julie". Born in Campbellton, NB, she was a daughter of the late John Peter and Minera (Andrea) Shalala. She was an employee of F. W. Woolworth & Co. for many years before going to the Ideal Store where she worked until ill health caused her retirement.She was a gracious and caring lady who expressed a great love for her family and who took great enjoyment in their presence. She was always generous, kind and thoughtful to those less fortunate, especially children. Julie was a member of the Canadian Lebanon Association, the Ladies of the Maronite Society and the Catholic Women's League. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her brother Lieutenant John Shalala ( United States Marine Corps ) and his son, John Peter, her three sisters, infant Agnes Shalala, Elizabeth ( Lee ) Shalala and Theresa ( Terry ) Shiner, sister-in-law Margaret Shalala, brother-in-law Samuel Shiner and on August 1, 2007, by her great-great niece, Abigail Cedine McCarthy.
