Margie B. Johnson, 86, of Eau Claire, WI, started her heavenly journey on Thursday, July 31, 2014, under the loving care of the Clairemont Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, with her daughters at her side. Margie was born in Nelson WI, on February 9, 1928, the daughter of Harry and Mildred (Reinhardt) Benjamin, and joined her "big brother" Bobby. Margie lived in Nelson, Maxville Prairie, and Arcadia, where she graduated from high school in 1946 with the other "Chicks of 46," her lifelong friends. After graduation she continued her education in Milwaukee in medical technology and worked in her field for several doctors in Eau Claire, including Dr. R. A. Buckley and Karl E. Walter. On Christmas Day, Margie married the Love of her life, Raymond Johnson, and they had a joyful life together for the next 65 years. Margie loved her girls, Jane Rae and Amy Lou, and was a wonderful wife and mom. She loved to travel, with Hawaii as her favorite destination. She enjoyed cooking, puzzles, playing bridge, shopping and spending time with her family. Margie is survived by her husband, Raymond J; her girls, Jane Rae (Roger) Dale and Amy Lou (Fred) Zimmer; nieces, Susie Zuech and Linda Larson, special cousins, Marie Lindoo and Mary Lou Gadwill; as well as numerous cousins and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Bob and his wife Kay; and her mother and father-in-law, Aagot and Art Johnson. Greeting Margie on the Rainbow Bridge will be Chico, Mistletoe, Jackie, Ashley and Beaugardt, her beloved fur babies. Services will be held at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 6, 2014, at Lenmark-Gomsrud- Linn Funeral Home, 814 First Ave. Eau Claire, WI, 54701.
