Obituary of Elsie Ada Johnson
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our much loved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother Elsie A. Johnson after a period of failing health at Bobby’s Hospice on Saturday, June 15, 2013. Born on March 10, 1921 in Olinville, NB, the wife of the late Eldon M. Johnson (1999), she was the oldest child of Sadie (McCutcheon) and Edson Donald.
Elsie is survived by six children, G. Donald (Lois Sandwith) of Hampstead; E. Elmer (Edna) of Greenwich Hill; E. Joanne Cooper (Burton) of Dartmouth, NS; Gary E. (Marjorie) of Brown’s Flat; David W. (Sandy) of Brown’s Flat and Joseph F. of Brown’s Flat. Lovingly remembered as Grammie Sheep by her 14 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
She is also survived by five sisters and one brother, Phyllis Copp, Alberta Lourie, Blanche McGowan, Jean Beckett (Eldon "Junior"), John (Joan) and Marion Makepeace (Doug Allen); sister-in-law, Mary Donald; several nieces, nephews and a wide circle of family and friends also "faithful one", Joanne Goodine.
Besides her husband and parents Elsie was predeceased by one grandson in infancy, brother, Charles (2007), daughter-in-law, Jean (Brown) Johnson (2007).
Mom was a lifetime member of Wesley United Church and the Greenwich Rec. at Brown’s Flat. Mom truly enjoyed the Friday night Card parties and faithfully made her egg sandwiches. She was anxiously waiting for the new crop of "Eric’s" blueberries. Mom was happiest when she was making apple pies for Sunday lunch with her "boys". No one left her home without a cup of tea and a piece of pie.
Resting at Brenan’s Bay View Funeral Home, 1461 Manawagonish Road, Saint John (634-7425) with visiting on Monday, June 17, 2013 from 1:00 – 9:00 pm. A Funeral Service will be held on Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 2:00 pm from Brenan’s Bay View Chapel. Interment to take place in Wesley United Church Cemetery. For those who wish remembrances may be made to Wesley United Church at Brown’s Flat, Bobby’s Hospice or any charity of the donor’s choice.
