Doris Elaine Johnson 81, of Tucson, AZ went home to her Lord and Savior on May 9, 2011. Doris was born June 3, 1929 in Thief River Falls, MN; the youngest of three children to parents, Alexander and Cora Swanson. She married E. Harris Johnson on October 28, 1950 in St. Hilaire, MN. She gave birth to Daniel and David. It was a match made in Heaven that lasted 60 years. Harris will greatly miss her. She is survived by her family: Dan and Stephanie, Dave and T'risa; grandchildren, Jeremy, Kim, Jordan, Matt, Cassie, Chris, Kari and Kevin; great-grandchildren, Jack, Sydney, Ryan, Emma, TY, Finley, Brooklyn and Remi. As a child, Doris enjoyed life on her family's farm. She often rode her horse Tootsie to school when the weather permitted; otherwise she and her siblings traveled to school on a horse-drawn sleigh. She was raised in a strong Christian home, and was known for her deep faith and ongoing prayers and kindness for her family and dear friends. Aside from her full-time job as a loving mother and devoted wife, Doris loved serving humanity as an LPN. Her unconditional love will set standard for many generations to come. Her family and friends will miss her tremendously. Visitation will be held at 1:00 p.m., Sunday, May 15, 2011 at EAST LAWN PALMS MORTUARY, 5801 E.
