SHIRLEY KATHLEEN JOHNSON (née Nichol) It is with great sadness that the family of Shirley announces her passing on Friday, December 9, 2016 in Regina at the age of 86.

Shirley is also survived by a much treasured extended family. Shirley, daughter of William and Millie Nichol, was born on the farm at Trossachs, SK on January 4th, 1930 and moved to Regina at the age of 18 to attend Business College. She met her husband of 63 years while working at SaskPower. From that point on, she dedicated her life to her husband and children. Shirley was the ultimate caregiver to her family, friends, and others in need. Her warm heart, caring nature and cookies will be missed by all who knew her.
