MARTIN-McLAREN, Shelagh Jean – Peacefully with family by her side in London, Ontario on May 24, 2017. Beloved mother of Morgan and his wife Lisa Martin. Cherished ‘Abadou’ of Russell, Avery and Sawyer. Loving and proud wife of Richard and step-mother of Josh and his wife Victoria (grandmother of Alexis and Evatt) and Zachary and his wife Jessica. Dear sister of Gehl (John), Melanie (the late Michael), and Richard. She will be fondly remembered by her many nieces and nephews around the globe.
A graduate of Fine Arts at Western, Shelagh was a lover of the arts and an avid collector of antiquities and artwork. Her sense of style and appearance was impeccable. She enjoyed travel, gardening, bridge and backgammon, and playing with her dog Ginger. Most of all she loved gathering with family and entertaining her many friends at a beautifully set table. Shelagh was very grateful to her close friends who supported her every day.
A Service to Celebrate her Life will be held at St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church, 280 St. James St. at Wellington, on Monday, May 29 at 11 am. Party to follow at the London Club, commencing at 1 pm. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to McIntosh Gallery at Western, Mission Services of London, May Court Club of London or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
