Marguerite "Deet" Johnson
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Marguerite "Deet" Johnson of Congress.
She was an Arizona native, born in Globe on January 18, 1919, and leaving us on Oct. 28 in Prescott. She led a long, happy life - loving life, her books, her family, her friends and her skittish cat Goldie.
Her life revolved around giving to others, whether it be to her children, her family, her friends, or just someone whose path crossed hers and needed her encouragement, a good ear to listen to their troubles, or a place to hang their hat. Once, several years ago, she and Dad took in a young man who was riding his horse from the state of Washington to the Mexican border and needed a rest stop. They were in communication for years after that.
She loved to travel and did see a lot of the world, visiting China, Russia, Scandinavia, even Africa, and most of the United States. She was an accomplished oil painter, expert quilter, and seamstress. She was active in her church and was an avid reader.
Her last months were spent in and out of the hospital, but when she was at home she delighted in sitting in her garden reading and visiting with whoever came by to see her. Her garden was lovingly kept up by a special family friend
Marguerite is survived by her daughters Judith Davis (son-in-law Kenneth), Sharon Storm, and Rebecca Kaercher, and grandchildren Jillian and Ben, and many family members.
She is resting with God now and we know that she is happy. We miss her and love her.
In lieu of flowers to remember her, plant a tree or a rose in her honor. Donations can be made to Hospice Family Care, 100 E. Shelton, Suite 100, Prescott, AZ 86301.
Arrangements are by David's Desert Chapel Funeral Home of Wickenburg.
