Laverne Thorborg Johnson, 96, of Dayton, Ohio, passed away April 9, 2020 at her daughter, Lisa O’Connell’s home in New Lebanon, Ohio. Our beloved mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and great-grandmother will be dearly missed. Laverne was born Sep. 7th, 1923 in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Charles and Ellen Ingebretsen. Laverne married Owen Hilmer Johnson on Sep. 10, 1949 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They moved to Chicago, Illinois in 1961 until Owen retired in 1982 and they moved to Clearwater, Florida. In 2016, Laverne moved to One Lincoln Park in Kettering, Ohio, to be closer to her children.
Laverne had a talent for painting and sewing and many of her family and friends have been blessed with homemade gifts over the years that will be especially treasured now.
Laverne was preceded in death by her loving husband, Owen, brother, Charles (Bud), and two sisters, Eleanor and Muriel and her grandson, Timothy. She is survived by her daughter Lisa O’Connell (Mike Bull) and son Charles (Marilyn) Johnson, granddaughters Sarah (Christian) Miescher and Leanna (Deon) Brugmann, and grandsons David (Amity) Johnson and Owen Johnson, along with eleven great grandsons and several nieces and nephews.
