Shirley Dawkins Hughes
January 27, 1928 - November 30, 2020
Shirley Dawkins Hughes, 92, was reunited with her loving husband of 60 years in heaven on November 30, 2020. She was born on January 27, 1928 in Laurens, SC to the late Ollie and Scott Dawkins. She was a graduate of Presbyterian College, longtime resident of Greensboro, NC and member of West Minister Presbyterian Church. Shirley was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Hughes, her brothers, Scott Dawkins, Malcolm Dawkins and her son in law, Rusty McMillan. She is survived by her two daughters: Harriett Fitzgerald (Chuck) of Ft. Lauderdale, FL and Robin McMillan of Quinton, VA, two grandchildren: Robert McMillan (Jaclyn) and Whitney Ward (Brock) and three great-grandchildren: B.A., Kennedy and Jacob. The family would like to extend special thanks to her live-in caretaker, Lucy, for all of her help over the last six years. We were blessed to learn many valuable lessons from Shirley during her 92 years, among them: Always buy the shoes. Drink the glass of wine. Send cards and letters often. Never leave home without your face on. Love those who treat you right. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you complete one of those lessons in memory of her.
