Shirley Kay Johnston-Hill

I remember Shirley in high school as one of the 'happy lights' to be around. She always had a funny quip and was always smiling. I loved her drama and musical gifts, and she was so hopelessly in love with one of our mutual friends. Shirley had a love for the Renaissance Festival and the Rocky Horror Picture Show. She described the movie to me long before I finally saw it as an adult (it seems that I missed all the fun stuff back then). Once, she had a party and her family allowed me to spend the night since I could not get a ride home. Thank you! Shirley once gave me a velvet blacklight poster for a Christmas gift that I still enjoy. I think about her when I see it.

A few years ago, she called me from north Texas and we had a few fun conversations. She will be missed. We need more purple Shirley light in this world.

Our love goes out to her family and close friends. May God soothe their hearts with His balm of healing and remembrance.

I'm so sorry to hear about Shirley's passing. I knew her back in high school, and we shared speech class together. She was always funny, quick-witted, and had a way of making those early‑morning practices feel a little lighter. Even after all these years, I remember her warmth. My heart goes out to her family and everyone who loved her. May her memory be a blessing.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
