Obituary of Florence McCauley

The family of Florence McCauley are very sad to announce the passing of their beautiful Mother, Gramma, Gigi in her 93rd year. She was loved by many, friends, and extended family. Everyone enjoyed being around her. She was funny, always happy, and very loving. If you had met her for the first time, she would love you forever. She loved people, music, family, and most of all her late husband who was the love of her life. She will join her much loved husband, the late Herman McCauley who left this world in 1997. A day never went by that she never mentioned him.

Known as GiGi to 12 great grandchildren who she loved very much. And one new baby arriving early March. She was the daughter of the late Albert and Cecile Shaughnessy. She grew up in the home with 8 siblings. Many deceased: Arnold (late Joyce), Helen Pigeon (late Albert), Ruth Mullin (late Bill), John (late Donna) of Calgary and Kenny (Suzy). She is survived by her 2 sisters, June Armstrong (late Gus) of BC, Cecile Fleming (late Clifford) and her brother Gerald (Mary).
