Shirley Emma Grant (Deevy) from Carp, Ontario passed away peacefully at the age of 92 on January 22 , 2026. 

Born in 1933, she was the  beloved wife of James Grant. 

Together they lovingly raised three children: Bonnie Todd (Patrick), Wendy Cox (Bill) and  Murray Grant (Jason). 

She was a devoted grandmother to  Ryan Lethbridge (Gaby), Tyler Lethbridge (Dehlana), Blair Cox (Julia), Colin Cox, and Kessia VanNest (Mike).

She also enjoyed having 8 great grandchildren: Anthony, Zoey, Lydia, Charlie, Connor, Brooklynn, Bailey and Shayla. 

Shirley grew up on a farm in Stittsville, Ontario to parents Mary and William Deevy.

She is survived by her sister, Ethel Monahan (Johnny .D) and preceded in death by her brother, Russell Deevy (Margaret) and her sister, Elva Greene (George).

She is survived by her sister In-law, Barbera Twyman (Brian).

Shirley started her career at the National Defence Research Center at Shirley's Bay. 

After the children were born, she spent some time raising her family and then went on to work at Atomic Energy of Canada.

She also worked on their dairy farm. Throughout the years, she was a long time volunteer of the Carp Fair and became Head Lady in 1983. 

When Shirley retired, she volunteered a great deal of her time to the Opportunity Shop in Arnprior. 

Shirley dearly loved her family.

She loved playing euchre and enjoyed traveling to fiddle parks in the RV with James.
She will be deeply missed by all. We love you Shirley, Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma.

A celebration of Shirley's life will take place later in the Spring.

Details will be revised and posted here closer to the time.
