SANDRA RUTH JOHNSON It is with the deepest sadness we announce the passing of our mom, sister, aunt, granny, and partner, Sandra Ruth Johnson, born July 18, 1953. On September 26, 2015 at 2:10 a.m., in the Arborg and District Health Centre, Sandra took her last breath, with her children and partner by her side. Throughout an eight year battle with cancer, Mom fought strong and hard right to the end. Sandra's joy in life was her passion in organic gardening. Her pride was in growing garlic and tomatoes, and selling them alongside her Mother Clove Garlic Jelly at the markets. Sandra thrived on her self-taught knowledge for a cleaner and healthier world. Left to mourn her passing are her children Nicole Nagy (Trent Kempin), Chad (Kristine) Nagy, grandson Kale, partner in life Wayne Gislason and his family, her sisters Sylvia (Maurice) Sigurdson, Mabel (Ron) Korchynski, Gwen Smith, and Verna Hryhorchuk, along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and pets. Loved ones waiting her arrival on the other side include her parents Stefan and Margaret Johnson, brothers-in-law Anthony Hryhorchuk and Gerry Smith, niece Kristy Hryhorchuk, nephew Darcy Sigurdson, and her beloved little dog Fergie. Expressions of sympathy can be made as a memorial donation in her honour to your choice of a pet rescue shelter. Cremation has taken place, a private family gathering will be held at a later date. MacKenzie Funeral Chapel, 204-467-2525 - info@mackenziefh.com

Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • Sandra and I were friends in High school and she was my next door neighbour for many years. She was a fun and loving person. Our last time together was a happy time last winter going for a ski together. She was a special person to my granddaughter and I enjoyed our times together and Miranda's birthday parties. I will miss her. - Posted by: Joy Gislason (friend) on: Oct 13, 2015
