Barbara J. Johnson

Barbara Johnson, age 58, passed away peacefully on Friday, October 2, 2026.

Barbara graduated from North High School where she loved playing volleyball prior to earning her Bachelor’s Degree in Education from Moorhead State University in 1988. She spent her early career as an elementary school teacher before dedicating her life as a stay at home mom.

She was preceded in death by her father, Robert Hanson.

She is survived by her mother, Adele Hanson; her three children and their spouses, Paige and Andy Schultz, Abbie and John Atwood, and Sam and Baylee Johnson; and her grandchildren, Clay, Thomas, Samson, and Jesse.

Her memory is anchored in the comfort of Sacred Scripture:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” — Matthew 11:28–30

A Memorial Service celebrating her life will be held at 12:00 PM (noon) on Monday, October 5, 2026, at Saint John the Baptist Catholic Church.

The Legacy Chapel Funeral Home and Crematory is honored to serve the Johnson family.
