Shirley Johnson. Shirley was born on Friday the 13th, December 1935,
in Flint, Michigan. She died Aug. 3, 2017, in Prescott, Arizona.

In between, she lived. She grew up in Clio, Michigan, one of nine
children, married George Johnson of Grand Blanc, and moved with him
to Newfane, New York. They later retired to Prescott.

They had two children, Lyn (Tom) Cooney, of Holly, Michigan, and
Kelly (Glenn) Ritzenthaler, of Schenectady, New York; and three
grandchildren, Zoe Cooney, and Erik and Alec Ritzenthaler, who made
her immensely proud.

She volunteered everywhere — Girl Scouts, Band Boosters, United
Methodist Church, Meals on Wheels ... and her presence will missed.

She leaves behind her family, her friends, and Punkin, the cat.

There will be a memorial service Nov. 25, at the Prescott United
Methodist Church. It was a life very well lived ... just not long
enough for those left behind.
