Obituary
Shirley M. Johns Dean
1930 - 2012
Shirley Johns Dean passed into the next phase of her eternal life August 19, 2012, and God has added another angel to join his family. Shirley was born August 17, 1930, in Jacksonville, FL as the middle child of three sisters, whose parents were Raymond Archibald and Gladys Evelyn Johns.
She met the love of her life, Carlton Maxwell Dean, in high school and enjoyed 52 happy years together before his passing in 2002. They had moved the family to Panama City in 1955 making this their home.
Shirley was a loving and devoted wife, mother, aunt, grandmother and great-grandmother and sharing precious moments with all her family and friends was a cherished memory for her. She was an active member of St. Andrew Baptist Church, Gleaners Sunday School Class, and the Joy Singers (before her illness). It gave her great joy to serve the Lord.
She was predeceased by her loving husband, parents, younger sister, Kathy E.
