Edward Johnson Obituary

Edward Carl Johnson, 87, passed away peacefully Friday, Dec. 27, 2013, in his home in Dunnellon. With the caring support of Hospice of Marion County, he was able to enjoy a loving Christmas with his family.
He leaves behind his wife, Gloria "Jimmie" Johnson, the love of his life for 65 years; sister Mildred Lingner; daughter Judith Mcleod; grandson Shaun Mcleod; granddaughter Laurel Thompson; great-granddaughter Savannah Mcleod; and a loving extended family.
Born and married in Chicago, he moved to South Florida, living on Key Biscayne for 18 years. He designed and built a home in Marion County in 1973 and taught architectural drafting at Citrus High School.
His greatest joy in life was traveling the country with Jimmie in their motor home, exploring all 50 states. They also cruised the San Juan Islands off Washington and Canada, Lake Michigan; and the Florida coasts and waterways by boat.
His was a life well-lived. You will be missed, Eddie!
The family request memorial donations to be made to Hospice of Marion County.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Roberts Funeral Home of Dunnellon. Condolences may be made to RobertsofDunnellon.com.
