Journal entry by Neil Johnson —
On June 24th, before going to sleep, I prayed for miraculous healing for my mom and the response I received is “tomorrow she will be dancing”
Lois Jean Johnson went home to Jesus on June 25th, 2023 at age 73 and is dancing in heaven.
Lois was born to Sterling Andrew and Irene Cecelia Johnson on October 24 th, 1949 in Chicago, IL. She grew up in a home filled with the Love of the Lord and amazing examples of how to serve God. Her parents created a home that allowed her a great foundation of following after God. She also enjoyed growing up with her siblings and fondly would recall the joy she had caring for her horses.
Lois attended Bethel College. While at Bethel she met her future husband, Gregg Allen Johnson. They eventually married on March 9th, 1974. Lois and Gregg together had 4 children, Nathan, Nicholas, Natalie and Neil.
Lois created a home that was warm and welcoming, not just for her immediate family, but to all those around her. Her open home and genuine love for others is a common theme that all who knew her speak about. Lois was a tough, resilient and selfless woman and those characterics carried through from a young age all the way up to her last moments here on earth. She was always putting the needs of otheres before hereself. She was truly a very special person.
Throughout her entire life, Lois held an unwavering faith in God, which she shared with those
who surrounded her. In asking her what advice or words of wisdom she would like to leave with her family, she said, "Cling to Jesus. It is all that really matters".
Lois joins her parents, Sterling and Irene and her sister Faith Naomi in Heaven. She is survived
by her husband Gregg, her children Nathan Johnson, Nicholas (Anna) Johnson, Natalie (Brett) Germain and Neil (Laura) Johnson, her Siblings, Roger (Sharon) Johnson, Mary (Bruce) Campbell and Wallace (Susan) Johnson and her numerous Grandchildren.
Lois was a dedicated and loving mother, wife and friend and she will be missed dearly. We love you Lois.
