Virginia Annette (Svendsen) Johnson was born December 31, 1940 in Albert Lea to Lorenz and Violet (Anderson) Svendsen. She attended school in Albert Lea and got her GED after her kids were grown and she was very proud of that. She married Duane Leroy Johnson on September 28, 1957 at Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Albert Lea.
Virginia loved having coffee with friends and family. She loved working with flowers, decorating her home – especially for Halloween, which was her favorite holiday. She loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Family meant so much to her!
She is survived by her loving husband, Duane; son, Marty (Peggy) Johnson; son, Danny (Lisa) Johnson; son-in-law, Bruce Nelson; grandchildren, Crystal, Wade, Krista, Robert, Sarah, Heather, Nicholas, and Christina; great-grandchildren, Hunter, Gretah, Stellah, Axel, and Viviana; brothers, Dallas Svendsen, LaMoyne Svendsen; sister, Goldie Svendsen as well as several nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her parents; son, Rick Johnson; and daughter, Reedie Nelson.
Memorials are preferred to the Alzheimer's Association 225 N. Michigan Ave., Fl. 17, Chicago, IL 60601, Our Saviors Lutheran Church, or donor's choice.
The family would like to extend a thank you to Dr. Boyce, the staff at Oak Park Place and Thorne Crest for their wonderful care.
She will be so missed by her family and friends that knew her. Blessed be her memory!
