Marie Johnson

My father was very lucky to have known Marie Johnson.. Her son Steve and my father Jim were great friends during their short lives on this earth.. And because of that friendship our family was also very lucky to have known Marie and Ralph and become friends.. My heart goes out to the whole family and you will be in my prayers.. Love to all of you.. Kristi Kay

My Mother & Father both worked for Ralph and I grew up with Marie's children and eventually worked for Ralph for 14 years at the Quarry. During that time I knew Marie as a Great Woman and great friend who always had a smile and something good to say. I'm sure her family will miss her dearly and my thoughts and prayers are with all of them especially during these sad times. I remember the House in El Sobrante by the Creek and up LaColina and also the great getogethers at Middletown in the Hangers. Marie was a great host and friend and will be missed. I'm very sorry to hear she is gone. My love to her surviving family especially Tina, Aaron & April. Tena (Brock) Buschmann

I have only been with Debbie Mckay for a little over a year, Debbie is Marie's Niece. I have been to several family get togethers and 2 of Aunt Marie's birthday celebrations.Your family has excepted me, into the family as if I had been part of it for many years.The love and compassion that Marie has shown you, and that you have shown me is no-where comparable to any other family, it is true and genuine. My heart goes out to all who loved and cherished this woman, for I know that she will truley be missed.God bless you all. Scott Kinney

"The greater your capacity to love, the greater is your capacity to feel the pain." Saying goodbye to you is painful for us all. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU for all the love and life lessons you gave to me and my sisters. I will love you and miss you forever. Your First Granddaughter, Michele Marie

Johnson Family: Your mother, grandmother, great grandmother was such a beautiful lady--inside and out. She had a long,full life,and we know she was a great example for you. Cherish the memories of the happy times you spent together. We are thinking of you all, and remembering some enjoyable times spent with Ralph and Marie.

I got to know Marie through her wonderful granddaughter, Chrissy, following her stroke. I was struck by her patience, grace, dignity, and sharp sense of humor. It was always fun hearing her stories about her family and her travels. You will be greatly missed, Marie!

As a chilhood friend of Tina's, I found Marie to be a beautiful and welcoming woman. As an adult I learned to appreciate that she was also a very strong woman who had more than her share of difficult times. Marie was always ready to greet me with a kind word and a smile. Tina, I think of you often and my thoughts are with you and the family today.

Tina and I were very good friends in high school, and I spent alot of time at the Johnson home. Marie never ceased to amaze me with her beauty, style, personality, and ability to have so much fun with her children and their friends. I know she will be greatly missed by all who know and love her. Tina, I have thought of you so many times over the years. My heart goes out to you in this time of sorrow. Take care.

What a beautiful smile Marie had, and to hear her chuckle, you knew she was up to something. She will be greatly missed.

Condolences to Christina and the rest of the family. I will always proudly remember Marie's 90th birthday party, to which I was invited. Hopefully I added some color and laughter to that special celebration. It was obvious to me she was loved and cherished by people of all ages. RIP! Violet The Clown
