ShirleyNOWLANIt is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Shirley Nowlan (nee Rowe) on the 20th August 2025, aged 88 years. Shirley is now reunited with her Husband Harold who she has mourned since his untimely passing in 1990, she was a Treasured Mum to Chris, Beverley (deceased) Clive and Helen, much-loved Mum-in-law to Tina, Michael and Mark, and a cherished Nan to Kirby, Sophie, Callie, April and Lauren, and her great-grandchildren. She was a much-loved friend to many and will be deeply missed.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen unheard but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.

Shirley's service is to take place at Ford Park Chapel on Monday 8th of September at 11.30, to be followed by a private family burial. At the family's request if you would care to wear bright colours or a splash of green to the service that would be much appreciated. Also if anyone would like to send flowers they can do so to the address below. Whilst Shirley did not die of cancer, in memory of her daughter Beverley donations if desired can be made to Macmillan.

My beautiful, kind, loving, precious nan.

Losing you has broken my heart beyond words. I will never be the same person again without you.

You were such a beautiful lady inside and out. So kind, generous and a huge comfort to my heart.

I will miss our morning chats and coming to see you for a big cuddle but I know our love was unconditional and I'll always live my life in your honour. If I am anything like you when I'm older, I will know I've done a good job.

Nan I miss you so much but I know you will be at peace with grandad and auntie Bebbie now. Give them a kiss and hug from me.

I can't wait to see you again one day and until then I'll always talk about you and I'll forever hold our precious memories within my heart. Thank you for being the most amazing nan anyone could ever wish for in life. We were truly blessed to have you.

I love you with all my heart Nan and I will forever more.

Love from Sophie, Shane, Ella, Max and Liam. Xxxx
