META JOHNSON

1912 - 2014

Meta Johnson, beloved wife of the late Melvin Johnson, went into the presence of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, at Good Samaritans Park Meadows Village, on Wednesday, July 2, 2014 at the age of 101 years.
Relatives and friends were invited to meet with the family at Southland Funeral Chapel, 5006 - 48 Avenue, Taber on Sunday, July 6, 2014 between 7:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M.
The Burial Service was held at the Vauxhall Cemetery on Monday, July 7, 2014 at 1:00 P.M.
The Funeral Service was held at the Bethel Evangelical Free Church, 504 - 3 Avenue, Vauxhall on Monday, July 7, 2014 at 2:00 P.M. with Pastor Ken Easterbrook officiating.
Meta is survived by her children Beatrice Johnson of Lethbridge, Bernice (Sig) Mayeske of Lethbridge and Dennis (Joyce) Johnson of Vauxhall; grandchildren Carol (Randy) Dyck of Lethbridge and their children Jordan and Jacey; Julie (Darren) Nikkel of Lomond and their children Jaxon, Kamryn and Sydney; Daryl Johnson of Vauxhall and Darcy (Rhonda) Johnson of Vauxhall. She is also survived by her brother Ray Fredericks of Fort Myers, Florida and sister-in-law Esther Johnson of Vauxhall.
She was predeceased by her loving husband of sixty four years, Melvin, parents William and Barbara Fredericks, three sisters and four brothers.
Meta was born in Hilda, Alberta on September 26, 1912. When she came to Vauxhall as a young lady to work, she met Melvin Johnson and they were married on September 15, 1936. They farmed north of Vauxhall for forty years before moving to Lethbridge. However, they still enjoyed much time on the farm helping wherever they could.
She had invited Jesus into her life as a teen, served her Lord and Savior all her life, and is now more alive than ever in His presence in heaven, something she had been looking forward to especially this past year.
Meta loved life and enjoyed people. She especially enjoyed family gatherings. Meta was such a loving, patient, caring person. She also loved cooking, sewing and participating in various sports throughout her lifetime some being tennis, baseball, rollerskating and even sea-dooing at the age of ninety eight.
Mom we will truly miss you, and we know we will meet you again in Heaven.
