Shirley Carre passed away peacefully on 11 June 2024 aged 99 years.
Widow of Sark harbour master Henry Carre, much loved mother of Debbie and Joel and grandmother of Freddie, Isabella and Archie.
Shirley met Henry one winter's night, at a Sark whist drive. She was his loving companion for the next 30 years until his death aged 90 sharing a love of their home and garden at La Joie and the island. Shirley stayed at La Joie well into her 90s - with the kind support of her friends and neighbours and Henry's granddaughter's in Guernsey, Sue and Janette - before moving to the UK to be closer to Debbie and Joel.
The family are holding a Memorial Service at St Peter's Church Sark, at 1pm on Saturday 28th September. All welcome. If anyone would like to send a donation in Shirley's memory then please send it to The Professor Saint Medical Fund, c/o HSBC Bank, Sark, GY10 1SG
