Shirley Johnson

I'm sorry I missed this. Shirley was a sweet, kind lady who was always at Willis's side. They were a great team! Their community involvement and service will touched many.

I was a corporate book buyer and knew Shirley well from book programs and I was privileged to be a volunteer at the Tivoli. Rest in peace my friend and my most sincere condolences to the family. Mary Tallman

Chris: I was so sorry to hear the news of Shirley's passing.From My days at Paramount and Warner Bros she was a joy to work with. We would always have lively discussions about the latest books we were reading and always looked fowarded to when she and Wiilis would stop by the office. She was a remarkable woman who will be missed.
