Johnson, George
April 23, 1935 – May 7, 2026
George passed away peacefully surrounded by his children two weeks after celebrating his 91st birthday. He was predeceased by his loving wife Marlene in 2014 and they are now together dancing in each other’s arms.
George will be greatly missed by his children Mary Ann (Jay), Karl (Francine), Frankie (Denise), Kenneth (Deanna) and Quinn (Sydney). He is also survived by his 12 cherished grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren, 2 siblings, many beloved nephews and nieces, and friends.
After spending many weekends and summers in Gratten Lake (Rawdon), once he retired in 2000 George settled here permanently, where he enjoyed playing darts and horse shoes, bowling, swimming in the lake and dancing at the Gratten Lodge. In the past few years you could catch him on his scooter watching corn hole then riding down to the beach to visit everyone.
George was a proud member of The Legion Branch 198 and enjoyed being part of the ECOL group of Friday friends. He was a kind and generous soul with a ready smile and left a lasting impression to everyone who crossed his path.
Forever in our hearts.

I was saddened to hear of George’s passing. I always enjoyed seeing him around the lake on his scooter, always smiling and ready to stop for a quick hello. Whether at Field Day or near the beach, he brought such a warm and friendly presence wherever he went. I honestly can’t remember ever seeing him without a smile. He will truly be missed. My sincere condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time.
