Louise M. Johnson

Louise M. Johnson, our beloved mom, grandma and Auntie Weeze, was taken home to be with the Lord, March 5, 2003.

She was born April 19, 1928, the second of four children to Hiram and Fae Grussing. She grew up in the Billings area, spending many summers with her uncles in Broadview hunting. She attended schools in Billings and later received her cosmetology license in Great Falls.

She was united in marriage to Richard Johnson on March 1, 1955. They farmed in Broadview until 1983, when they semi-retired. In 1993, they moved to Billings to spend their retirement years. While retired, Louise worked as a home healthcare worker, which she dearly loved. After Richard passed on, Louise moved to Prairie Towers to live until the time of her death. She was extremely proud of her independence.

Louise was the most caring, loving, giving person to know and have around. Her kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews were the center of her world and she would do anything for them.

We will all dearly miss you, Mom, Grandma, Auntie Weeze. There will be a void in our hearts, but knowing you are with God and will suffer no more will heal our hearts. You are where you belong now, with Dad and sister Irene and brother Bill and Grandpa and Grandma.

Louise is survived by her two daughters, Sandy (Eldean) Flynn, Karen (Wayne) Bomar. Also surviving are grandchildren Shane (Jana) McCarthy, Shawn McCarthy, Kari (Larry) Powell, Sarah, Kyle and Chad Bomar; her great-grandchildren, Cody, Shana, Cayle, Caden McCarthy, Lexi and Kayla McCarthy, Kaitlyn, Jacey, Jocelyn Powell; her nephew Mike (Diane) Brook, their children, Jaymi (Brian) and Brook Anderson, Doug (Missy) and Erin Brook and many nieces and nephews. Louise is also survived by her sister Donna (Evan) Dodson; and sisters-in-law, Jo Goodman and Helen Gusick.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, March 10, at The Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Shepherd, with lunch being served at the church and Graveside Services being held at the Broadview Cemetery.
