<div itemprop="description">DORIS JOHNSON, <br /> <br />January 16, 1912 ~ April 15, 2014 <br /> <br />Doris was a long time resident of <br /> <br />Midland. She was born in <br /> <br />Cornwall, Ontario in 1912 and <br /> <br />moved to Midland in 1956. She <br /> <br />was in her 103rd year. She was <br /> <br />predeceased by her husband of 46 <br /> <br />years Edward Johnson, a career <br /> <br />employee of Bay Mills; and by her <br /> <br />daughter Geraldine Burford (nee <br /> <br />Johnson). She was the last <br /> <br />survivor of her family, surviving her <br /> <br />brothers Danny, Cecil, Ralph and <br /> <br />John Kennedy; and her sisters Kay <br /> <br />MacDonald and Marion McGrath. <br /> <br />She is survived by her son Peter <br /> <br />Johnson and his wife Barbara; her <br /> <br />nephew Brian Kennedy; her nieces <br /> <br />and their husbands, Genevieve <br /> <br />Kennedy, Mary Liz and Darcy <br /> <br />Aikman, Susan and Alan Benjamin <br /> <br />and Brenda and Gord Cavanaugh. <br /> <br />She also has four grandchildren, <br /> <br />Andrew and Matthew Burford; <br /> <br />Michael and Nicole Johnson, as <br /> <br />well as her great-granddaughter <br /> <br />Ruby Geraldine Burford. <br /> <br />She loved her Church and loved <br /> <br />living in Midland. She liked to have <br /> <br />a good time and talked about her <br /> <br />friends and neighbors of 50 plus <br /> <br />years, &quot;The Hanly Street Gang&quot;. <br /> <br />She always said that the worst <br /> <br />thing about growing old wasn't the <br /> <br />aches and pains, but the loss of <br /> <br />family and friends. She was my <br /> <br />Mom. I am so proud of her and we <br /> <br />will miss her very much. She had a <br /> <br />&quot;great life&quot;. Many thanks to the <br /> <br />wonderful nurses and staff at the <br /> <br />&quot;Hillcrest Village Care Center&quot; who <br /> <br />have taken care of my mother for <br /> <br />the last 6 years, I will always <br /> <br />appreciate it. <br /> <br />Memorial donations to St. Margaret's <br /> <br />Building Fund would be <br /> <br />appreciated.</div>
