Marjorie Johnson

Marjorie Nettie (Erd-

man) Johnson was born

December 2l, 1933 on the

family farm north of

Souris, ND. Her parents

were Emil and Nettie Erd-

man, she had two broth-

ers and four sisters.

Marjorie cherished her

memories growing up on

the family farm. It was a

happy time for her. Mar-

jorie played basketball in

school and was made cap-

tain of her team.

She went on to further

her education in Minot,

ND to become a teacher,

however Fred Johnson en-

tered her life and her

plans changed as she met

the love of her life.

On March 29, 1952 she

married Fred Johnson in

Bottineau and they made

their home on the farm

north of Kramer, ND.

They enjoyed 62 years of

marriage together. They

raised two children Re-

becca and Matthew.

Mom was a loving wife,

mother, grandmother and

great-grandmother. She

enjoyed her family, work-

ing around the farm and

traveling to various places

over the years. Mom was

a self taught cake decora-

tor and the family always

cherished Grandma’s

cakes. She would make

cakes for many baby

showers, anniversaries

and weddings. Mom and

Dad spent many years

wintering in Weslaco,

Texas and cherished their

time with friends down

South.

She had an avid love

and passion for the Bible

and Bible truths. What

she learned gave her an

eagerness to want to share

and teach others about

God and his name Jeho-

vah.

During her later years

her son, Matthew, loving-

ly cared for her in her

home. Dementia became

her struggle and Mother

fell asleep in death in

Minot on September 28,

2020.

Mom is survived by:

her daughter Rebecca

Green (Art) and her son

Matthew Johnson.

Mother had four

grandchildren, Lezlie Sce-

benski (Emie), Heidi Skel-

ton (Cory), David Green

(Corinne), and Heather

Green. She was also

blessed with five

great-grandchildren, Lexi,

Marlee, John, Bentley and

Paisley. She is also sur-

vived by her sister Nina

Hermanson, and her two

sister-in-laws Myrtle Erd-

man and Sharon Erdman

as well as many nieces

and nephews.

Marjorie was preceded

in death by: her parents,

her loving husband, her

brothers, Cecil Erdman

and Norris Erdman, as

well as her sisters Evelyn

Iverson, Loretta Backman,

and Bernice Cote. She is

also predeceased by four

brother-in-laws, Marvin

Iverson, Harold Backman,

Jerald Cote and Marvel

Hermanson.

At this time, her family

would like to express our

sincere thanks to all those

who have sent messages

of condolence and kind

words of sympathy, they

are very much appreciat-

ed.

Our hearts are broken;

we will miss her terribly

and we look forward to

the time we will see her

again.

A private family

memorial will be held at a

later date.
