Anita Johnson's Obituary
Anita went home to her Heavenly Father unexpectedly on Friday morning. She was preceded in death by her father Harry George Franzkeit, her mother Elizabeth Mikshus Franzkeit, stepfather Emil Helmrich, and her brothers Clinton and Norman Franzkeit. She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Stanley C. Johnson, her sister Audrey Nixon (Richard), her children Mark S. Johnson (Laura), Timothy Johnson (Margot), Kristeen Petersen (Jay), and Andrew Johnson (Jennifer). She is also survived by her grandchildren Wesley, Stuart and Margaret Johnson, Andrea Anderson (Jonathan), Scott, Priscilla and Elisabeth Johnson, Cayla and Claire Petersen, and Mia and Audrey Johnson. She is also survived by two beautiful great-grandchildren, Owen Johnson and Dahlia Anderson. Anita graduated from Lincoln High School in 1949. Anita loved her children with all her heart and loved the Lord above all else. She enjoyed preparing meals for others, sewing, reading, and especially the bonds she had with her church family and her friends at the Lakewood YMCA Water Aerobics class. A private burial service will be held Friday, November 16, 2012, followed by a Memorial service at Noon at Olympic View Baptist Church in University Place, WA. She will be deeply missed. Memorials may be sent in her honor to the Lakewood YMCA.
