Johnston, she is survived by her seven children: John and his wife Judy, Susan, Anne, Craig and his wife Jane, Mark and his wife Sarah, Erica and Emily; her seven grandchildren, Michael, Alison and Daniel, and Helen, Haynes, Abigail and Ian; and her two great grandchildren, Finn and Hannah. All of them look at the world differently because of her. Shirley's memorial service will be on Friday, July 21, at 10 a.m. at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, 79 Denton Rd, Wellesley. At twenty, she was the first person from her family and one of the first from her town to finish college, at the University of Wisconsin Madison, where she majored in journalism. The other omnipresent features in her life were her devotion to her church, St. Andrew's, her deep engagement in the Wellesley community, and her steady dedication to her volunteer work, which occupied her even into the last months of her life.
