Patsy Johnson

La Farge – Our mom, Patsy Johnson, passed away on the morning of Sunday, September 24, 2023. Our mom was loving, kind, selfless, fun, and sassy. She had her tea every morning and watched Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune every night. She loved all things organic and all things cotton. She loved feeding the birds, the sunshine, movies, and dark chocolate. She loved antiques and collectibles and even owned two antique shops during her lifetime. She loved dragonflies, bees, shells, gardening, morel mushrooms, reading, and her dog Annie Rose (Pipper). She loved going with her daughter to look at Christmas lights and celebrating each of her birthdays to the fullest (she turned 80 this past June). She also loved the Kickapoo Valley more than any place she had ever lived.

She disliked litterbugs, polyester, the humidity, and the colors mauve and peach. Before her health problems and her stroke, she ‘loved’ to dance, play scrabble, and go to garage sales. She gave THE BEST hugs ever to all. We will most certainly miss those hugs. Some, maybe most are thinking “this certainly isn’t the typical obituary,” but our mom wasn’t the typical person. She was better than that. She was unique.

She will be missed by her daughter, Traci (Doug) Albright; her son, Todd (Mary) Amidon; her grandchildren, Brad (Heather), Chris (Alli), and Tyler; great-granddaughter, Cora; her best friend, (Sis) Kathy; David and Angel, and her family and friends.

Special thanks to Tamsen Morgan, nurse Cassie, and to Leria for all the exceptional care and love you provided her with all these years. Thanks to the EMT’s for your trips and for helping her and to the staff at Vernon Manor for your compassion and care the last five months.

We will always miss her beauty, her laughter, and her kindness. We will miss you mom and will always love you more. We hope you are dancing freely without pain in the sunshine. You will forever and always be in our hearts.

Per her request, there will be no service. Instead, just smile when you think of her or when you dance or when you garden and know that she loved BIG.

Motherhood is eternal. Our influence does not stop when our children turn 18. It does not stop when they are 40, 50, or 60. It does not even stop when we pass away. Our fingerprints and wisdom touch the next generation and the one’s following. Love has no end. A mother’s love ripples to eternity.
