Selma Swan "Salli" Johnson

Oh Jim, I just saw that Salli passed from Alzheimer´s. It has been so many years since I saw the 2 of you but have fond memories of time spent with Salli and you at your apartment in NW Portland and in your NE Portland home and a trip to Bonneville Dam sturgeon fishing. I still have photos from that trip and others. I know the health history of Salli´s mother and the difficult choices you made because of that. I am so very sad and sorry that Salli´s story ended as it did. She was such a...

Salli taught me a valuable lesson about time. No matter the circumstances, enjoy the time. It is one of the most precious things we we will have. Sending so much love to Salli´s adoring and dedicated husband, Jim. Christy and family

We will miss that mischievous smile. A little quiet but always a willing participant and ready for so much fun! You will be missed sweet Salli. Your style and grace will be with us forever. Less is more.

Salli and I met in the late 70´s working at Nordstrom. I was immediately attracted to her stylish and graceful manner. As I spent more time with Salli I soon recognized behind her cool and elegant exterior was a beautiful soul with a big heart that loved nature and laughter and most beautiful things that life had to offer. My kind of gal! We share so many memories, beautiful Experiences and side splitting laughter with stories that we both hold near and dear to our hearts. I was...

With a twinkle in her eyes, Salli had a charming way of engaging people in lively conversation and making all feel welcome and included. She was a fun loving person who kicked up her heels at great parties groovin' to the music with friends and family. Salli and Jim thrived on being outdoors whether it be picking huckleberries in the woods, taking in the vistas at the coast or basking in the sun at the river shore. Salli remains in my heart.

Well Salli, We go back a long time with friendship and memories. The four of us enjoyed our libations in front of the fireplaces, our dancing where ever it was warranted, and the many wonderful dinners our husbands competed in for top jock. Many beach trips, birthdays, and BBQs. You´ll always be in our hearts and we´ll always treasure the memories we made together Love and miss you. Jeff and Maggie

I remember Salli Johnson as an extremely nice person who just lit up a room that she walked in. She always asked how I and my children were doing. She cared about people. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Salli as I have known her was a free spirited joyful soul...she brought much Joy to Jim's life...may our heavenly Father take Salli into his loving arms. God Bless Jim and his family Sending my love, Harrison
