Mary K. Johnson, age 72 of Lindstrom, MN passed away peacefully after an 11 year courageous battle with cancer on April 5, 2016 at Fairview University Hospital with her family by her side.

She was born in Mitchell, SD to Joseph and M. LaVawn Lacher. Mary attended high school in Blue Earth, MN and then attended St. Cloud School of Nursing. She married the love of her life, Wayne Johnson, on February 4, 1967.

She is preceded in death by her parents and brother-in-law Sherwin Johnson. Mary is survived by her loving husband Wayne; children Chris (Angie), Kelly (Jake) Ford and Aaron; grandchildren Zach, Andrew, Morgan, Lauren, Evan and Hannah; brothers Mike, John, Dan and Doug Lacher and nieces and nephews.

Mary retired from Hazelden after 32 years as an RN. She enjoyed gardening, baking, playing cards and games. She enjoyed spending time with her friends but most of all she loved being with her family and beloved grandchildren. She will be most remembered for her ability to find the good in everyone and making friends wherever she went. She will be missed dearly.

"Life is short, too short, (I never want to leave the party!) So be kind to one another and be quick to love and quicker to forgive. Treasure each day, each and every moment." - Mary Johnson
