Adele Johnson Obituary
Adele Johnson (Kofoed)
1935-2024
Our Mother, Adele passed away peacefully on Monday April 1, 2024.
Adele Johnson (Kofoed) was one of eight children, the third eldest, born August 28, 1935 to Charles and Agnes Kofoed. The Kofoed Clan have been rooted in the Terrace community for over a century now. The original Kofoed home was located in Thornhill where she resided with the rest of the family until 1958, when she married. Her first son Karl was born in Terrace, and after a short time, she relocated to Prince George having two more children Anthony (Tony) and daughter Susan. We mourned the tragic loss of her daughter, our sister in 1974. She spent most of her adult life raising her remaining sons in the Prince George area and the town of Hixon BC. She opted to retire and return to her Terrace roots in 1997 where she settled in her home on Soucie Street. She spent her retirement years, working with the Sacred Heart CWL, and spending time in her, ever blooming flower garden.
She is survived by her brothers George, Tom, her sisters, Dianne, Betty Jean, and Anne. Her brother Chuck (Charles) passed recently and her sister Johanne passed in 2016.
She leaves a legacy of two sons, Karl and Anthony (Tony) Prekaski along with 3 grandchildren, Skylar, Miranda, & Madelin.
Adele loved spending time with family and friends, always enjoying a good laugh. She was known for her quick wit, which could be either caustic or comedic exploring every variant in between. Despite this, she had a huge heart. She lived and loved life on her terms.
She will be sadly missed by us all.
For those who would like to honor her, we will gather at the Sacred Heart Church, Terrace, BC, 11 am Tuesday April 9th followed by a light lunch.

Carl, Tony and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I knew your mom the most of all the aunt's and uncles and she was always good to me. She did her best to survive the many tragedies that came into her life and despite them she managed to find a way to still live, laugh and love in her own way. May she be at peace now in the arms of those that have gone before her. Love, prayers and hugs to you all, Kathy and family.
