Shirley JOHNSTON Obituary

Shirley and I started school in the same year and were in the same class at St Joseph´s and St Thomas´s High School in Oamaru. She was a good friend and I remember she excelled at sports especially Basketball and Marching. Shirley went on to become a very talented doll maker and dresser. A lovely lady cruelly taken from her loved family by Dementia. I have fond memories of fun birthday parties hosted by our respective mums. Sincere condolences to Trevor and families. RIP Shirley.

Sincere Condolences Trevor and family, Shirley had a wonderful elegance and uplifting spirit/humour whenever I seen her.in the Waikiwi. Love and prayers to you all at this time.

Trevor and Shirley were so much more than our neighbours when growing up in Balclutha. I will always remember Shirley as an elegant and gracious lady, talented in so many ways. From her love of squash and tennis, to her incredible sewing skills - I will never forget the 5th form formal dress she made for me.
My thoughts are with you all at this sad time. May the many beautiful memories you share of Shirley bring you comfort and strength in the days ahead.
With my deepest sympathy,

I first met Shirley when we were both learning to make and paint porcelain dolls with Betty Turnbull. Shirley was a lovely and very gracious lady. Those memories will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her. My sincere condolences to Trevor and family. Xox

Always remember Shirley as a kind and generous soul, with a soft smile .. a proud mum and great supporter of Trevor. RIP Shirley.
