Judith Johnson

Judith A. Johnson, 65, of Danbury, died on Friday, February 16, 2018 at the Shell Lake Health Care Center. Born Judith A. Nelson to parents Henry and Sophran “Fran” (Geist) Nelson in Neillsville, WI on July 18, 1952. Preceded in death by the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, preceded to heaven by the same. As a 1970 nurse’s aid, she joyfully found work in pediatrics to geriatrics in clinics, nursing homes, and hospitals. She attended the University of Wisconsin-Marshfield, Stevens Point, and Superior, areas of study: art and education. She loved to show her children how to help others - whether opening a door for an elderly person or helping a mentally challenged child with a religious project. If I have helped one person to find joy and hope in life, I have succeeded. Preceded in death by her parents and father-in-law Howard Johnson, nephew Joshua Nelson, good friends Maureen Maurer and son Donald J. Maurer and Margaret Asp.
