JOHNSON, Shirley L. (Caldwell) Age 73.
Born in Dayton Ohio on February 16, 1938.
On November 9, 2011, Shirley Johnson left this life.
Shirley attended Miami University and the University of Dayton and touched many lives
during her professional career. First as a nurse, then as a school administrator and
eventually as a child care provider winning the Dayton Child Care Provider of the Year
award in 2002.
Shirley was an avid gardener and birdwatcher and enjoyed being around family and friends
and was noted for having a warm and caring smile.
Always upbeat and positive Shirley was forever willing to lend an ear or a helping hand to
people in need.
Preceded in death by her parents Edith and John Caldwell; sisters Jean (Caldwell) Russell
and Glenna Boozer; aunt Nannie-mae Gilbert and grandparents Janie and Clarence Brown.
She leaves to cherish her memory sons John and Thomas Johnson, special niece Tina Russell,
brother-in-law Van Boozer and a host of nieces, a nephew, cousins and friends and the
Caldwell family.
There are no words to express how deeply she will be missed not only by her beloved family
but by the many people who knew her and by the many lives she touched.
Shirley was a mother, a daughter, a mentor and a best friend and her sweet and cheerful
memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew her. Condolences may be expressed to
her family.
