Obituary

Floreen A. Johnson, 100, of St. Joseph, Missouri, passed away peacefully at her home on Saturday, June 27, 2026.

Born on October 1, 1925, in Humboldt, Iowa, Floreen was the daughter of Egbert and Gesina Peters. She lived a remarkable century filled with love, family, faith, and adventure.

On June 2, 1952, she married the love of her life, Dr. Glen Johnson. Together they shared 51 wonderful years of marriage before his passing. Their life together was enriched by a passion for travel that took them to all 50 states and more than 20 countries around the world, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

Floreen was a devoted wife, loving mother, supportive sister, and consummate homemaker. She embraced life's adventures with curiosity and enthusiasm, experiencing destinations and cultures that few have the opportunity to enjoy. Among her many unforgettable travels were riding elephants through the jungles of India, visiting the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, trekking halfway to Mount Everest, attending a performance of the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow, and exploring the interior of the Great Pyramids at Giza. Her adventurous spirit and appreciation for the world's beauty inspired those around her.

More than anything, Floreen treasured her family. She created a warm and loving home, offering unwavering support, kindness, and encouragement throughout her life. Her quiet strength, gracious heart, and enduring love will be remembered by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Dr. Glen Johnson; her parents, Egbert and Gesina Peters; and her two brothers and three sisters.

She is survived by her daughter, Glenda Bisig and husband Rick, of St. Joseph, Missouri; her son, Dennis Johnson and wife Vickie, of Denton, Texas; six grandchildren and their spouses; 13 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren, along with many extended family members and friends who will cherish her memory.

Floreen lived a life defined by love, generosity, resilience, and an enduring sense of adventure. She leaves behind a legacy of family, treasured memories, and a life well lived. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
