Marilyn Johnson
October 9, 1943 - October 10, 2025
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Marilyn Johnson. She passed away peacefully on Friday, Oct. 10, 2025, in Calgary, Alberta.
Born in Kindersley, Saskatchewan on October 9, 1943, Marilyn had just celebrated her 82nd birthday. She lived a full and joyful life surrounded by family, friends, and endless adventures. She was someone who was small in stature but was fierce in spirit, determined, vibrant, and full of heart.
A dedicated teacher by profession and by heart, she touched the lives of countess students with her kindness, continued passion for learning and her sage advice. Her early teaching career took her to several communities and eventually she landed in Consort, Alberta and eventually taught in the neighbouring community of Veteran, Alberta.
It was then she would meet George Johnson, to whom she would marry and raise three children on the Johnson family farm.
Through the years, she became a beloved fixture of both the Consort and Veteran communities. Beyond the classroom, she enjoyed time with friends and family, found joy in the pages of a good book, travelled the globe, and zipped through town in her mustang. Throughout her life, she continued to spend countless hours among her flowers she so carefully nurtured in her garden, continued to be eager to travel and eventually become an avid Oilers fan. Golf was one of her greatest passions. She was happiest with a club in hand and the sun on her face sharing laughs with friends and family, celebrating both good and bad shots. Her love for the game took her to many beautiful courses over the years, from the local fairways to Fairmont, to her winter retreats in Phoenix, where she spent many cherished seasons enjoying the sport she loved.
She was predeceased by her parents, Art and Mary Linn, husband, George, and her daughter, Andrea. Marilyn is lovingly remembered by her children Stacy (Cathy), Sherri (Edwin) as well as her grandchildren, Megan, Cam, Everett, Nate and Matt, brother Dale (Wendy), nephews Robert (Erin), Brian (Michelle), along with other family and dear friends. Marilyn had found a beautiful renewal of companionship and joy when she reconnected with her first love, Herb, bringing light and happiness in recent years.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday November 8, 2025, at 1pm in the banquet hall at the Links Golf Course, Spruce Grove. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation in Marilyns memory.
