She was a beautiful spirit- and gave me comfort when my Dad had surgery! (She even gave me cookies to take to him in the hospital). I loved her very much!

My Dad Harlen Johnston used to help with the lawn care and enjoyed helping Mr. & Mrs Herrick. Dad retired after working 43 years at the products and then would help out when ever the Herrick's needed something. Shirley was a blessing to both my Dad and Step Mom.
Sorry for your loss.

Aunt Shirley was a valued and trusted friend of my parents. I loved her as an Aunt and will remember her kindness. (When my Dad was in the hospital she made cookies and asked me to take them to him- he was happy to have them). She will be missed. Please accept my deepest sympathy!
