Shirley was born in Vernon, B.C. As fate often does, it has taken Shirley full circle; when she was just six years of age, she lived on the old Kault Hill road, and remembers walking past her present home in Gleneden, with her brother, who was taking her to the old school house, near where the Gleneden fire hall now sits. When she was 9 years old her family moved to the Arrow Lakes area of the West Kootenays, where she resided until 1979. Shirley and her husband, Bill, started their first shake and shingle mill in 1980, where she not only worked at the mill; she also did the accounting for the business along with raising her family of two boys and two girls. In 1981 Shirley and family moved to Valemount where they operated a shake and shingle mill until 1987, at which time they completed the circle and moved to Salmon Arm. Shirley was very active in minor hockey from atoms to juvenile, and is still an avid Canuck fan.  Golf and fishing, in that order, are her two favorite pastimes, with travel coming in a close third! Shirley worked as a meat wrapper in the old Westside store, now Overwaitea, and in 1991, joined husband Bill in their chosen profession of real estate. Shirley has worked with the franchise companies Royal Lepage and Remax, and has really found her home with Shirley Real Estate Ltd.  (only the names are the same), where she has become a constant top producer. Attention to detail, experience in owning and operating businesses, working in the forest industry as well as serving the public have all attributed to her success. Whether it is a business, residential or investment property, you can be assured Shirley can do the job for you. Call her today for a no obligation opinion of value on your business or property.
