In Loving Memory Of Shy Johnson

*** 1992-2022 ***

Shy Johnson was our Service Advisor here at United Auto Sales and if you've ever met her, you'd definitely remember her wonderful outgoing personality. Shy was never too busy to go out of her way to help someone in need. She loved her friends, family, Dunkin coffee, her motorcycle, her Buffalo Bills, but her most cherished gift are her children. Her spunky behavior and infectious smile never failed to light up a room. Shy, you will be sorely missed by all of us. Rest easy our friend.
