Valory Jean Johnson

Valory was born to James McIntyre (of Mackinac Island) and Dorothy Cleland McIntyre (of Grand Rapids). She is also preceded in death by her oldest sister, Colleen and Aaron (nephew) DeBard.

She will be lovingly remembered by her devoted husband of 62 years, Dwight Johnson and loving son, Mark Johnson.

She will also be remembered by special friends Ginny, Rhonda, Connie, and Dominic. Valory leaves behind a big family with many nieces and nephews she spoiled, including brother, James McIntyre (Andrew, Jim, Evan, and five grandkids); sister, Mary (Jim) Willer (Heather, Jenay, Jim, Brandon, and ten grandkids); sister, Patricia (Bill) Tarr (Cris, Lauren, Dafne, Sean); brother, John (Linda) McIntyre (Paul, Owen); special nieces Erika (Tye) Steffke, Rebecca Vohs and Javen (Sophie) (great-nephew, Franklin), Leo, Andie, and Lucy Zamojcin.

Every holiday was made special by her artistic handmade cards, gifts, flowers, quilts, and desserts. She celebrated every one she knew. Holidays will not be the same. She was an avid collector (31 Christmas trees), and artist in every way. Her presence brought joy to all (always a treat in her purse for dogs)! She was beautiful inside and out and will be missed by all who knew her.

In lieu of any gifts or flowers, please consider a donation to an animal shelter, as dogs were her passion.
