Obituary for Marion Arlene Johnson

Marion Arlene  Johnson
ROCKPORT - Marion Arlene Rogers Johnson, 81, died peacefully surrounded by family, Tuesday, July 19, 2016 at Sussman House in Rockport.

Born in Owls Head, May 15, 1935, she was the daughter of Clarence and Addie (Williams) Rogers. Educated locally, Marion was a 1953 graduate of Rockland High School.

On November 12, 1955 Marion married the love of her life and best friend, Ray Johnson, in Rockland. The couple moved to Ft. Devons, Massachusetts, where Ray was first stationed, and during his long career they were stationed in Massachusetts, Germany, Kansas, Colorado Springs, and North Dakota. After Ray’s retirement the family settled back in their beloved Rockland on the coast of Maine.

Marion was a proud and dedicated Army wife and homemaker. First and foremost, Marion was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. Her greatest joy came from her children and many grandchildren. She also loved going to Bingo, traveling, riding around the waterfront and going fishing with her husband, and visiting with family. She will be deeply missed by all who loved her.

Marion was predeceased by her husband in 2006 and a brother, Alton Rogers. She is survived by her son Jeffrey Johnson and his partner Darlene Lowell of Cape Coral, FL; her daughters, Kathy Maynard of Rockport, Cindy Merrifield and her husband Mike of Rockport, Linda Larson and her husband Mark of Miltona, MN, Teresa Johnson and her husband Sam Hanes of Old Town; eight grandchildren and their spouses, Eric and Jennifer Maynard, Jessie and Denise Johnson, Christopher Larson, Rachel Maynard, James Lindsey, Nicole and Aaron Kappes, Michele Johnson, Evelyn Hanes; 12 great-grandchildren, Kaytlin, Brady, Ryan, Korinn, Tristen, Ethan, Aiden, Shey, Carson, Hudson, Peyton, and Sam; two brothers, Leroy Rogers of Owls Head and Charlie Rogers and his wife Donna of Matinicus; as well as many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to extend its appreciation to the Sussman House for caring for her with such kindness during her last days.

Family and friends are invited to visit from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., Thursday, July 21, 2016 at Burpee, Carpenter & Hutchins Funeral Home, 110 Limerock Street, Rockland, where a celebration of her life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Friday, July 22, 2016. Interment will follow at Achorn Cemetery.
