Obituary for Mary Ann (Frostick) Johnson



November 30, 1946 - October 7, 2024



Quincy, Ohio - Mary Ann Johnson, 77, passed away on October 7, 2024, at St. Rita's Medical Center in Lima, Ohio.



Born on November 30, 1946, in Brielle, New Jersey, Mary Ann was the beloved daughter of Thomas and Mary (Crowley) Frostick. She graduated from Manasquan High School in 1965 and fulfilled her lifelong dream of becoming a sheep farmer. Her passion for sheep began early, nurtured through her involvement with the Monmouth County 4-H program.

In her journey of love and partnership, Mary Ann married Richard Johnson on May 3, 1969. The same year they moved to Lakewood, New Jersey, where they established "Hyline Farm," dedicated to raising Columbia sheep for show, meat, and wool. In 1995, seeking a more farm-friendly environment, they relocated to Quincy, Ohio, where they continued their shared passion for farming. Together, they traveled across the United States, participating in livestock shows and connecting with friends in the sheep community.

Mary Ann is survived by her husband, Richard Johnson; her nieces, Michelle, and Janine; her nephew, Thomas; her godson, Chris Guenther; and many cherished friends from the livestock community. She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Mary Frostick, and her brother, Thomas E. Frostick.

In honor of Mary Ann's wishes, there will be no memorial service. Friends wishing to reach out to Richard may contact him via his cell phone or Mary Ann's cell phone.

Mary Ann's legacy of dedication and love for sheep farming will be remembered fondly by all who knew her.

Bob and I were so sad to hear of Mary Ann´s passing. Many fond memories through the years. Bob said she was an asset to him at the Ohio State Fair and to the sheep industry. She will be missed.
