Sally Ann Johnson
May 17, 1936 - October 22, 2020
Sally A. Johnson, 84 of Wittenberg, died on Thursday, October 22, 2020 at home surrounded by her loving family while under the care of Aspirus Comfort Care & Hospice Services.
Sally was born on May 17, 1936 in Mattoon, the daughter of Marion ‘MP’ and Elizabeth (Swan) White.
Sally met the man of her dreams at a dance doing the circle two step. He then asked her to dance to ‘The Blueskirt Waltz’ and that was it - it was love at first sight.
On May 14, 1955, Sally was united in marriage to Harold ‘Bill’ Johnson at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Wittenberg. He preceded her in death on May 7, 2006. Even though his Alzheimer’s was quite advanced, at their 50th wedding anniversary, Bill took her in his arms and danced to that waltz. We are sure they are dancing it once again.
Sally loved with her whole heart - her husband, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and many friends. She treated anyone she met like family. She loved life.
Sally worked hard her whole life raising four little girls and working side by side with Bill. Sally proudly worked for Nueske Meats for over 30 years. She started at the original plant, the new store, and to her delight, worked at the antique store until her retirement.
Sally loved to bake. Her house always smelled wonderful and the freezer was always full of molasses, chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies. She loved to sew and found that sewing clothes for her little girl’s was both rewarding and relaxing.
Sally is survived by her children, Betsy (Darrell) Juedes of Tomahawk, Patti Teske of Wittenberg, Connie (Carl) Kakes of Antigo and Jan (Mark) Wormuth of Wittenberg; 13 Grandchildren, Casey (Lisa) Hersant, Elizabeth Hersant, Andra (Alberto Casas) Teske, Brett (Becca) Teske, Jerry Buck, Erin (Dan) Wick, Sam (Bobbi) Wilson, Katie (Benny) Rickun, Paul Kakes, Kailey Alfhiem, Katie Wormuth, Karlyn (Skyler Rindt) Wormuth and Kendal Wormuth; 13 Great Grandchildren, Philip & Brieanne Wick, Isla & Ivan Hersant, Adaline, Evelyn & Levi Juedes, Bailey Bruce, Owen Teske, Zander Buck, Jack Rickun, Addison Griffin and Lennon Rindt; siblings, Sandy (Dale) Goeman and Richard (Mary Lu) White, both of Antigo and sisters-in-law, Pat White of Antigo and Dorothy White of Clover Leaf Lake as well as many other relatives and friends and her loyal companion, Lulu.
Sally was preceded in death by her parents; husband Bill; a daughter, Larae; a son, Edward; two brothers, Karl & Dale and a son-in-law, Michael Hersant.
A funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on Monday, October 26, 2020 at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Wittenberg. Rev. Sharon Fox Bogen will officiate. Burial will be in the parish cemetery.
