September 24th, 1926 – June 30th, 2021

Lora passed away peacefully

at Mariposa Gardens in the

early morning of June 30th,

2021, three months shy of

her 95th birthday.

She was predeceased by

her husband, James Shaw

in 1982, and her daughter,

Susan Lynn VanPelt in

2014.

Lora is survived by her

children Debby (Preston), Rhonda (Ron), Jim (Cheryl),

Wendy (Ron), and Margot (Chris).

She had ten grandchildren: Michelle (Devin), Sandy

(Andrew), Sharon, Nicholas (Jill), Maxwell (Deanna),

Kelsey (Andy), Stephanie (Scott), Ginny, Ben, and

Courtney (Steven), as well as eight great grandchildren:

Axton, Maxime, Talon, Juliette, Vivienne, Sydney,

Hadley, and Evelyn Rose.

She is also survived by one brother, Harold (Scotty)

Wiltermuth, from Maidstone, Saskatchewan.

Lora was born in Maidstone, Saskatchewan, the

youngest of 10 children. She moved to Pentiction, BC

where she met and married James Shaw on July 28th,

1951. The family eventually settled on an orchard north

of Osoyoos in 1961.

Lora’s greatest joys in life were people, especially children.

She loved being on the farm and visiting with everyone

who stopped by. Family, friends, neighbours, relatives,

and fruit customers who returned year after year and

became friends, were all welcomed. She shared stories

with so many people over her nearly sixty years on the

farm. She hosted tea parties, cookouts, birthdays, Easter

egg hunts, and star gazing in her orchard. She organized

trips to the playground and picnics at the beach. She

attended family births, graduations, weddings, and

showers. She was the center of our family and she will

be greatly missed by her large extended family and all

those in the community whose lives she touched.

A Celebration of Life to share her legacy of family and

friends will take place when we are able to come together.
