Read More	Shirley Louise (Johnson) Walker, age 76, of Willow City, N.D., died on Sunday, March 2, 2014, at the Trinity Medical Center in Minot, N.D., after suffering a stroke the previous Thursday. Shirley was born on Feb. 15, 1938, to Lloyd and Margaret (Berg) Johnson, in Bottineau, N.D. She was raised on the family farm near Overly, N.D. She attended grade school in Overly and then graduated from Willow City High School, the class of 1956. She completed her education at Minot State Teachers College, earning her standard teaching certificate and license. Following college, Shirley taught grade school at Sherman Public School near Mohall for one year, in the Rolette Public School for two years and also did substitute teaching in the Willow City School for a few years. On June 17, 1961, she was united in marriage to Warren Walker at the Willow Creek Lutheran Church in Overly. The couple made their home on a farm southwest of Willow City and was blessed with three children, Kimberly, Nancy and Shane. During this time, Shirley was active in the Willow City Public School PTO, music and band boosters. She was an active member in the First Presbyterian Church of Willow City and served as president and secretary of the Presbyterian Women. She also taught Sunday school and was the church organist for 25-plus years. Shirley and her soul mate, Warren, worked side-by-side for over 36 years on the farm and ranch. She enjoyed cooking, baking, raising her children and assisting her husband in any way she could. It was quite common for Shirley to wash and hang out clothes, make dinner, mow grass, help move machinery, go on parts runs, haul grain and still have supper on the table when the day was done. In her spare time, if she had any at all, she also enjoyed gardening, sewing, playing the organ and piano and canning. She was in 7th heaven when the grandchildren were around and always took time to listen to their stories. Warren died suddenly on March 13, 1998, breaking Shirley's heart. She continued to help her son on the farm through the years until failing health forced her to slow down. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and homemaker. We are at peace knowing she is finally pain free and home with Dad and the Lord. Survivors include: her children, Kimberly (Pete) Winger, of Minot, Nancy (Donnie) Gordon, of Park River, and Shane (Sharon), of Willow City; grandchildren, Karolynn Winger, Hannah Gordon, Warren, Ella and Grant Walker; two brothers, Leroy (Muriel) and Robert (JoAnn), all of Rugby, and Edward (Dana), of Towner; two sisters, Carol Johnson, of Overly, and Marilyn Polk, of Bismarck; several nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends. She was preceded in death by her husband; one brother, Donald; a brother-in-law, Dan Polk; father-and mother-in-law, Wesley and Ella Walker; and her parents. Funeral services: Will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 8, at the First Lutheran Church in Willow City, with spring burial in the Memorial Park Cemetery, Willow City. Pastor Linda Wimmer and the Rev. Don Andrews will officiate. Visitation: Will be Friday, March 7, from 5 to 7 p.m., at the Anderson Funeral Home in Rugby, with a time of prayer and sharing of memories beginning at 7 p.m. Arrangements with the Anderson Funeral Home of Rugby.
