Our Dear Wife, Mother, and Nana, Susan Joan Johnson went home to Jesus on Monday, September 23, 2024. She was born July 17, 1939 in Seattle, WA. She met the love of her life, William (Bill) Johnson Jr. in 1959 at the Game Ridge Motel in Rimrock which his father owned. Their love story began in 1963 on the slopes of White Pass Ski Resort. Not long after, they were married on September 14, 1963. They recently celebrated their 61st anniversary.
Together they raised their four children Noelle, Holly, Bill & Gary in Quilcene, WA before relocating to Oakridge, OR. In the late 90's Bill & Susan made their home in
Moses Lake, WA. Susan worked for many years as a florist and most recently in Moses Lake in retail at North 40 in the clothing department.
Susan treasured her time with family and friends. She loved her camping trips to the mountains with Bill. She enjoyed being outdoors hunting with her boys. She looked forward to her annual beach trips with her girls. She loved to watch her grandchildren at sporting events. She was a lover of animals, especially her horses and cats. She loved flowers and saw the beauty in everything.
