This information relates to the main Lincolnshire tree - descendants of
Johannis [John] and Elizabeth Pask née Archer, who lived in Lincolnshire.
It is with a heavy heart that I write this blog. We were notified this weekend that Shirley June Amos née Pask sadly died on December 4, 2013 at Medina Memorial Hospital, Medina, Orleans County, New York State, America.
We have been corresponding with Shirley since June 2008, and she kindly provided extensive information, and photographs, on six generations of her family. She last wrote in May 2013, and explained that she was not in good health. We are so sorry, and offer our deep condolences to her husband Bernard, and their four daughters.
Shirley enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest. Her family was always
at the center of her life. She made every event special, from church
activities to camping trips, and scouting events to birthdays and
holidays. Shirley was considered as a "social planner extraordinaire."
She began two chapters of the Red Hat Society (Medina and Lady Lake, FL)
for whom the "Queen Mother" and her "court" created many wonderful
events. She also made sure that "The Gang", a group of seven high school
chums, have remained close through the years and planned their yearly
get-togethers. An integral part of Shirley's life was her volunteer
service, giving countless hours to the Medina United Methodist Church,
Medina Memorial Hospital Gift Shop, TWIG Association, Senior Citizens
Center of Medina, Meals on Wheels and Girl Scouts. Shirley worked as a
direct sales representative for several companies, earning national
recognition and honors. Her full obituary is available in
The Journal Register.
Shirley provided a wealth of information, especially in the
Family Booklet that she provided us in March 2012. We reported this in the blogs
Family Reunion - Sunday 29 July 2012, and
Family Reunion 29 July 2012 Update. Her powers of persuasion provided a major breakthrough in establishing that the Lincolnshire PASKs of Nocton, Washingbrough, Wellingore, Fulbeck, and Great Gonerby were all related.
She was the daughter of
Claude Howard Pask, and his wife
Anna Geraldine Pask née Schrader. Claude was the grandson of
Henry "Harry" Pask, and his wife
Mary Pask née Marshall, who immigrated to America from Nocton, Lincolnshire, England on the RMS Abyssinia, as a group -
Edward Pask, with his wife
Ann Pask née Marshall, Henry "Harry" Pask,
Jane Pask, John Marshall, and Mary Marshall. They left Liverpool, called at Queenstown, Ireland and then sailed to New York, arriving on 22 April 1872.
We shall think of her often, and remember her always.
