Virginia Catherine Johnson

February 11, 1946- September 30, 2021

Virginia Catherine Johnson, 75, of Dunkirk passed away September 30, 2021. She was born February 11, 1946 in Lonaconing, MD to Forrest Anderson and Jenna Mae (Wagner) Miller. Virginia grew up in Western Maryland and moved to North Beach when she was 15 years old. She graduated from Calvert High School in 1963. Virginia married David Owen Johnson on June 2, 1966 and they lived in Deale and North Beach before moving to Dunkirk in 1972. She was employed as an administrative officer for the Department of Defense for many years, retiring in 2006. Virginia was a member of St. Thomas Episcopal Church and the Daughters of the American Revolution. In her spare time, she enjoyed reading, gardening, cooking, volunteering at church luncheons and events, and spending time with her family. Virginia was a kind person who always helped others, especially family. She often volunteered to take her grandchildren places so their parents didn’t have to miss work. Virginia will be greatly missed by all.

Virginia was preceded in death by her husband David in February of 2021. She is survived by her children Shelly Johnson (Tracy) of Bowie, Christina Thomas of Hollywood, and Erik Johnson (Charlene) of Dunkirk, grandchildren Emma, Lillian, and Samantha Thomas, and Alexander and Gage Johnson, and sisters Linda Jessen, Gloria Baker (Gerry) and Cleta Cranford (John).

    I will miss you so much My Big Sister! You taught me so much and were there for me whenever I needed you. You were my biggest cheerleader and mentor and showed me the importance of family and remaining close. I miss our daily texts/chats but I know I can talk to you any time I want to – I will just Look UP! And there you are. Always.
