JOHANNA FAULK

Sept 30, 1949 – July 16, 2025 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Johanna after a long illness. Loving mother and grandmother to Ashley, Ethan, and Taylor. Loving sister of Frank Faulk; and sister-in-law to Charlotte Odele; beloved stepdaughter to Elizabeth Faulk, and sister to Yohan Faulk, living in Texas; and predeceased by her sister, Evelyn. Johanna was a dear friend to many. She made good friends wherever she lived and worked. Johanna was born in New York City and lived some of her childhood years in Texas. She maintained strong and loving relationships with her Texas relatives throughout her life. Johanna returned to NYC before coming to live in Canada. She went to Waterloo University, Stanford University, and the University of Alberta, where she got her PhD. Largely focussing on adult education, Johanna worked in the aerospace industry as well as the not for profit sector, where she could apply her formidable intellect and skills. Johanna had a wicked sense of humor, a sharp intellect, and a profound commitment to equity and social justice. Her passion for the National Football League meant she coerced many less interested friends to watch the Super Bowl with her year after year. In later years, she consumed any K (Korean) dramas that she could get a hold of, even picking up some of the language that she proudly shared with friends and relatives. Johanna left this world with dignity and grace and will be sadly missed by all. A celebration of Johanna's life will be held in late September or early October.
