Marguerite Johnson's Obituary
Marguerite (Marge) Johnson, 92, of Spotsylvania County, passed away Friday, February 10, 2012 while at Mary Washington Hospital.
Marge is best remembered by her family and friends for the over 30 years she spent enriching her students lives as an elementary school teacher in both Massachusetts and Connecticut.
Marge had a fondness for nature and loved to spend time at her retreat home in Vermont and riding horses. She was always delighted to hear from an old student, or to spend time at her church enriching her faith at the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Spotsylvania.
Marge leaves behind two children; a son, Robert Pike of Colorado, and a daughter, Cheryl Salinsky of Spotsylvania; seven grandchildren, Stephanie, Leslie, Rebecca, Billy, Derek, Kalyn and Joshua; one great-grandchild, Isabella; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of other family friends.
Marge was preceded in death by her husband, Albert Johnson.
