Obituary of Gail Juliann Johnson

Gail Juliann Johnson

(March 7, 1951 - April 3, 2021)

Gail Juliann Johnson of Camrose, Alberta, passed away on Saturday, April 3, 2021, at the age of 70 years. 

Left to cherish her memory are her brother Carl (Elizabeth) of Calgary; and nieces and nephews Ryan (Julie) and their children Leah and Maren of Calgary, Cameron (Poppy) and their son Jacob of Calgary, and Lana (Brian) Gould and their children Annika and Chloe of Squamish, BC.

Gail lived all her life in the Camrose area.  She grew up on a farm near Kingman with her mother, brother, and grandparents.  She attended early school in Dinant and Kingman.  When the farm was sold she moved with her mother to Camrose and finished high school at the Camrose Composite High School.  Gail was a strong support for her mom and they lived together until her mom passed away.  After school, she began a 43-year career working at Rosehaven where she provided the highest level of comfort and care to the patients.  She had the ability to treat people with respect and make them feel special.

She was so proud of her grand nieces and grand-nephew and never forgot them at Christmas or birthdays.  In return, she received many handmade pieces of art and cards that made her smile. Gail was a homebody and enjoyed having animals with her at all times.  She made strong and long-lasting friendships in Camrose.  She was ever grateful for having the always present support and companionship of her cousin Brenda Rosland.  

Gail was predeceased by her parents Carl in 1951 and Brith in 1973. 

A private graveside service was held.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Gail's memory may be made to Camrose & Area Animal Shelter Society.
