Hastings Reminder, 2 Jan 2016

Patricia Anne Johnson (nee Jarman), beloved wife and mother, passed away on
December 23, 2015.  She was 72.

Pat was born on November 23, 1943 in Cincinnati, OH.  She grew up in Kalamazoo,
with her mother, Virginia Jarman, and older sister, Janet.  She attended
University High School.  In 1968, she married the love of her life, W. Curtis
Johnson.  They moved to Lake Odessa in 1969, where they raised their four
children and made many lifelong friends.  She worked full-time in the wholesale
industry after her youngest child started school while also managing her very
busy family.

Pat was a fiercely dedicated mother and grandmother, a true “momma bear.”  Her
children remember her as a strong woman and an affectionate, fun, loving mother,
who always put others before herself.  Pat was an open and generous woman, who
welcomed friends and family into her life and home.

She contributed to her community in many ways, caring for elderly neighbors,
leading Cub Scouts, supporting the summer swim program, and driving many
children to numerous sporting events.

Pat loved music and dancing and had a beautiful singing voice.  She was an avid
reader, who loved a good mystery.  In recent years, she delighted in spending
time with her grandchildren and watching them play sports, traveling with Curt
to visit dear friends in warmer climates, and relaxing with her sweet labrador,
Wylie.

Pat is survived by her husband, W. Curtis Johnson of Lake Odessa; her sister,
Janet Smith; her son and daughter-in-law, James and Susan Johnson; her daughter
and son-in-law, Shannon Johnson and Kipling Grasse; her daughter and son-in-law,
April and Ethan Cavanaugh; her son and daughter-in-law, Walter and Michelle
Johnson; and four grandchildren, Liam Cavanaugh, Andie Cavanaugh, Harrison
Grasse, and Piper Grasse.

The memorial service took place on Dec. 30, 2015 at Koops Funeral Chapel.  In
lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Lakewood Athletic Association
or to Lakewood Educational Foundation (Fine Arts).
