JOHNSON, EILEEN - With broken hearts and tear-stained eyes, we regret to announce the passing of Charlotte ''Eileen" Johnson, beloved widow of Aldon Johnson, on June 15, 2013 at her Oromocto residence, surrounded by her loving family. Born March 12, 1938 in Fredericton, NB to the late Everett and the late Florence (Rickard) Bonnar. She is survived by her four beloved children, seven cherished grandchildren, and one great-grandson, to whom she was known as GiGi: daughter, Bonnie (Dean) Thibault of New Maryland, granddaughters, Ashley (Greg) Munn and Tara and Kaleigh Thibault, great-grandson, Cooper Munn; daughter, Linda Johnson of Fredericton, NB, grandson, Mitchell Bragg; daughter, Darlene (Jody) Price, grandsons, Blake and Craig Price; son, Dale (Jeanette) Johnson of Oromocto, granddaughter, Lauren Miller. Left to watch over her family are dear and devoted sisters, Carol (Don) Lindsay, Burton, NB and Evelyn (Vaughn) Fraser of Harvey, NB as well as many caring nieces, nephews, uncles and aunts; and sisters-in-law, Annie (Harold) Gahan and Betty (Donnie) Parker. Special mention to her ever present and perfect niece, Dianna Gillies. Eileen believed in family and friends; life was meant to be lived, dances meant to be danced and music meant to be enjoyed. She was a rock to her family and an inspiration to many. She was a true lover of all animals, especially her little Miniature Schnauzer Zoë who passed away in April 2013.
The family will be receiving condolences at the Oromocto Funeral Home on Monday, June 17, 2013 from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 pm.
