GRAHAM,
Shirley
(Dr. S.M.
FYLES.)
On March 14th, peacefully, at the Montreal General Hospital,
at the age of eighty-one after suffering from congestive heart
failure. Born May 18, 1924, daughter of Eileen Jenny
YEATS and
E.N. Halton
FYLES, sister of Ann and Richard
FYLES.
Graduated
M.D. from Queen's University in 1954 and practiced neurology,
as well as raising a family. Later, Doctor
FYLES specialized in
the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome. At the Montreal Neurological Hospital and
elsewhere she is remembered for her devotion to her patients
and her selflessness. Shirley brought the same qualities to her
community and volunteer work. After her children were grown,
she continued to care for others, including students from abroad
and foster children. She maintained an active medical practice
until very recently and helped design and maintain services for
Human Immunodeficiency Virus patients. Shirley was born into
a challenging and changing world; she faced that world with energy
and lived her life with integrity. Those close to her appreciated
Shirley's ability to maintain her wry, self-deprecating sense
of humour in even in the most trying situations. She is survived
by five children, fourteen grandchildren and one great-grand_son.
