Connie Dagmar Johnson

It is with great sadness that we announce that Connie Dagmar Johnson, age 76 years of Moose Jaw, SK, passed away on Friday, April 10th, 2015.  She was born on a farm near Mossbank, Saskatchewan, one of six children growing up at the end of the Great Depression and through World War II.  Connie developed a great love of animals on the farm.  She married Hilding Johnson in 1956 and lived happily together in Moose Jaw, raising two girls.  Connie was a devoted wife and wonderful mother.  She loved to play Bingo and play the slots at the Casino.  Connie’s devotion to others and selflessness were her greatest strengths.  She wanted very little but never failed to give of herself.  Connie had a great sense of humour which she passed on to her two daughters.  She remained in Moose Jaw after her husband’s passing in 1991, residing most recently at Pioneer Lodge where she enjoyed her new neighbors and many friends.  Connie was predeceased by her husband, Hilding; parents, Anna and Martin Jensen; daughter, Ilene Reid; sister, Joyce Trewin; and brothers, Bob, Svend and Hans Jensen.  Connie will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Lorna (Gordon) Keene; son-in-law, Doug Reid; grandchildren Keith, Lynette and Candice; brother, Victor (Merle); as well as nieces and nephews: Shelly, Lisa, Lianne, Brad, Bob, Eric and Victor.  A Graveside Service will be held on Wednesday, April 15th, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. in Sunset Cemetery with Reverend Doug Shepherd officiating.  Those wishing to attend are asked to meet in the Moose Jaw Funeral Home parking lot at 10:30 a.m.  The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Moose Jaw Union Hospital for their care and compassion.  In lieu of flowers, donations in Connie’s name may be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation of Sask, 279 3rd Ave N, Saskatoon, SK S7K 2H8.  Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane.  Todd Sjoberg, Funeral Director 306-693-4550
