Chambers, Shirley Hazel - age 79, of Dartmouth. It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our dear wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother on February 18, 2015 at Dartmouth General Hospital, surrounded by her devoted family. Born on February 1, 1936 in Walton, Shirley was a daughter of the late Wes & Greta (Hazel) Sanford. Her greatest accomplishment in life was her family; she will be dearly missed by all that knew her.
