Audrey Johnson

"Audrey Johnson" BREITUNG TOWNSHIP - Audrey A. Johnson, 68, of Breitung Township, lost her battle with lymphoma on Friday, May 20, 2005, at the Dickinson County Hospital in Iron Mountain. She was born April 11, 1937, in Iron Mountain, daughter of Einar and Ann (Pearson) Windell of Aurora, Wis. She graduated from Kingsford High School in 1955, and married her high school sweetheart, Melvin Johnson, on Oct. 20, 1956. She held a few part-time jobs over the years, but for the most part was a wonderful wife, mother, and homemaker. She enjoyed camping, and traveling to many places in the United States and Europe. She was painfully organized in many areas of her life and loved to work on the details of their genealogies, and plan family get-togethers and reunions. She painted, wove baskets, and loved to play games and cards, especially when she won! God has a larger plan than what we can see. Audrey is in a much better place now, and suffers no more pain. She is there with her grand daughter and many of her friends and relatives that have gone before her. As much as it hurts us right now and we grieve her passing, we also understand that it is a blessing. Audrey was preceded in death by her parents, and just recently her grand daughter, Rhiannon Daugherty. She is survived by her husband, Melvin Johnson; daughter Danita (Randy) Larson; son Keith (Krisanne) Johnson; grandchildren Miranda (Shaun) Sabotta (and their children Logan, Ethan and Paige), Jacob Johnson and Keri Johnson; and sister, Eunice Barnes, all of Breitung Township; brother, Glenn (Marie) Windell of Aurora, Wis. and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Visitation will be on Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Erickson-Rochon & Nash Funeral Home in Iron Mountain.. Dave Grant will officiate for a service at 6 p.m. on Wednesday followed by burial at Cemetery Park and a meal at the Dorothy Fox Hall. Condolences may be expressed to the family of Audrey Johnson online at www.ernashfuneralhomes.com. The family has entrusted the Erickson-Rochon & Nash Funeral Home of Iron Mountain with the funeral arrangements.
