Shackleton, Hester Marlene

Peacefully in hospital, surrounded by her loving family after a brief battle with cancer. She is survived by her beloved husband of 63 years, John Shackleton. Predeceased by her son, David Shackleton. Wonderful mother to Patricia Brûlé (Marc), David Shackleton (Lyne), Jack Shackleton (Liz) and Peggy Rankin (Douglas). Hester and John have nine grandchildren who will miss their devoted Nanny deeply, Jillian, Kelly, Jennifer (Bernie) Kyle (Ali), Tom (Carissa), Donald (Shannon), Chris, Hannah and Alexander (Amy). Hester’s four great-grandchildren were one of the greatest joys in her life, Mabel, Eleanor, Iris and Olive. The Bond and Shackleton families extend far and wide and all will feel her loss. Hester was a leader in her community, known to all through her work with the Carp Agricultural Society, Scotiabank, countless hours volunteering with the Carp Food Bank and St. Paul’s United Church.
