She had struggled for ten months with adenocarcinoma of the pancreas which was inoperable when discovered. She was buried June 15th with a small family gathering at graveside in Ashland, OR on June 15, 2013. Born June 8, 1937, she was the daughter of William H. Johnson and Ella G. Johnson, residents of Minot at that time. "Bill" Johnson was then managing editor of the Minot Daily News and Ella taught elementary School and was a principal at Lincoln School. Laurie's older brother, William R. Johnson died in 1989; she is survived by John M. Johnson of Oregon City, OR, Nancy J. Mueller of Falls Church, Virginia, her husband, Glen S. Shipley of Lincoln City OR, and sons Matthew J. Shipley of Medford, OR and Glen C. Shipley, of Beaverton, OR. Laurie had interests in music and was an apt student, graduating as valedictorian from Minot Model High School in 1955. She inherited an avid interest in politics, devouring news in whatever form was presented. She chose medical technology as an occupation and left Minot in 1957 after attending Minot State Teacher's College to study in Portland Oregon. While in training at St. Vincent Hospital in Portland, Oregon she met her future husband, Glen, who was a medical student working part time at that hospital. They worked together for two years before Glen saw the light and asked her to be his wife. She offered no opposition to the proposal and they were married at Mt. Scott Park Presbyterian Church on June 14, 1959, two days after he graduated from Oregon Health Sciences University. Laurie was employed as a medical technologist during the early years of her marriage, but her employment was interrupted by Glen's assignments in various hospitals as an intern and resident. After Glen completed training they lived in Denver, CO, and moved to Ashland, OR, in 1973. While there, Laurie completed her college education and obtained a bachelor's degree at Southern Oregon University. She was active in local politics in Ashland, campaigning for various office seekers, was a volunteer for "Meals on Wheels", played golf with a lady's group, was a member of "National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI)" of Southern Oregon. Laurie and Glen chose to retire in Lincoln City, Oregon in 1998. They discovered travel after a trip to Malaysia where their son, Glen Curtis, was married. Thereafter they traveled extensively to many countries in Europe, India, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Their favorite place to vacation, however, remained in the US. A yearly camping trip in Glacier National Park became mandatory. Last visit was to Lake Kintla, in northern Glacier National Park, in August of 2012. The family requests donations be made to "Pan Can," an organization supporting research on pancreatic cancer. The internet address is: http://www.pancan.org/section_donate/donate_now.php#.

His mind was wildly creative. He wrote songs, played guitar and created paintings incorporating the most unexpected objects. Next to Jim's family and his countless diverse friends, surfing is what he loved most. His first encounter with a surfboard occurred when he was about twelve and he was hooked.

And although he rode the waves of Southern California, Hawaii and Costa Rica, he was most often found in the chilly waters of Oregon's Agate Beach. Jim was a nonconformist who followed his dreams with a passion. He left us with unique and special memories.his bright light will never fade and there will never be another "Jimbo." Jim was preceded in death by his father Roger and older brother Mike and is survived by his mother Loretta and siblings Nancy, Diane, Jan, Gloria and Brian.
