Josephine Leier Johns

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, auntie, sister and friend, Josephine Johns. Mom has left this earth to rest in the loving arms of our Creator where daughters Laraine and Janet are waiting to welcome her home. Left behind to cherish her memory is her loving husband of 67 years, Tommy. Also left to mourn her are her children; Carol (Ron) and family, Maureen (Lee), Tom (Janice) and family, Dwayne (Michelle) and family, Allen (Tina) and family, Cathie (Ron) and family, and adopted children George, Rose and Lulu. As well as all her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren too numerous to name. Mom will be laid to rest with a picture of Dad, her sweetheart, to hold until they are reunited again. Mom’s beautiful personality and warm heart was felt by every person she came into contact with. To all those who knew Mom, please know that your relationship with her brightened her days and filled her with love and joy, we thank you for this. We would like to recognize our Leier and Johns families, and our extended families in Qu’Appelle Valley and Pasqua First Nation. As well as all Mom’s co-workers and former patients from the Fort Qu’Appelle Indian Hospital, where she retired as a nurse after 27 years. We would also like to acknowledge all of Mom’s good friends, notably her special friend Lou Lennox. We would like to express our extreme gratitude to Mom’s doctors; Dr. George Tuwor, Dr. Bonnie Richardson, Dr. Amanda Ellwood, her caregivers at the Regina General Hospital, Renal Unit and Cardiac Care Unit for your compassionate care shown to our Mom in her time of need. As our matriarch, Mom held our family together with love, kindness, guidance and inspiration. Mom’s true beautiful, compassionate heart will be carried within our hearts forever. For those who cannot attend Mom’s funeral, an act of kindness is how you can celebrate her life.
