Remembering
Ms. Mable Shaw
Mable Shaw was born on June 17, 1934 in McKoy, Clarendon, Jamaica.
In the early 1970’s, Mabel and her family moved to Montreal.
As her eight children began to acclimate to a new country and language, Mable began to look for job opportunities.
She worked at the Allied Jewish Community at the Golden Age Association, now known as the Cummings Center for most of her time in Montreal .
On her retirement in 2008, they hosted a ceremony in her honor with the placing of a commemorative plaque on the wall for her years of dedicated service.
Her true passion was Christ, and serving others. She was an active member of the O’Brien Church of God.
As a mother, she raised her children to be respectful members of the community and to love, and honor God.
She leaves to mourn 4 siblings, 8 children; 11 nieces; 11 nephews,19 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren and family pets. Our wish is to honor her by making donations to the O’Brien Church of God at obrienchurchofgod01@gmail.com.
