Peacefully at Extendicare Cobourg with family by her side and surrounded with the love and affection of her Extendicare family, in her 97th year. Wife of the late Clifford Johnston for 75 years. Loving Mother of David Johnston (Lois), Susan Spicer (Dalt), and Kevin Johnston (Karen). Proud Grandmother to Lori, Brandon (Michelle), Michael (Lauren), Dana (Sarah), Jazmind (Corey), Joel (Jessica), Jarah and Jakob. Great Grandmother to Henry, Orion, Hawksley, Benson, Sloan and Juniper Lyla. Survived by her sisters Eileen MacMillan, Doreen Aston and Nancy Hastie, many nieces and nephews. She will be missed by her life-long friend Vera Wellman, and her ‘adopted’ family, Dawn-Marie, Dallie, Diane, and David Arkles. There are not enough words to express our heartfelt thanks to the Extendicare Staff for their care and genuine love for this special woman. They were her extended family and she truly considered it her home. She was a feisty lady with a kind heart, never-demanding ways, and wonderful sense of humour – strong to the end.
A private family graveside service will be held at Cobourg Union Cemetery, followed by a private celebration of life at MacCoubrey Funeral Home. For those wishing, donations can be made to The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, Extendicare Cobourg Resident Council Fundraising Account, or Trinity United Church.
