It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Debbie Johnson, who was born on August 19, 1957, in Wheaton, IL, and departed from this world on November 30, 2023, in Bradenton, FL from cancer. Debbie lived a full and meaningful life, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories.
She was a devoted wife to Dan Johnson for 36 years; a loving mother to Doug (Lori), Brian (Kristina) and Ashley (Andrew); a doting grandmother to Lily, Carter, Wyatt, Ellie and Wesley and sister to Mark (Pam) Donushi and Brian Donushi. She is preceded in death by her father, Tony Donushi; mother, Judy Donushi; sister, Marcia Donushi and sister-in-law, Debbie Donushi.
Debbie found immense joy in her family and loved hosting family events and celebrating the holidays with everyone at her home with Dan. Debbie's warmth and creativity endeared her to many and her passion for arts and crafts brought light and color into the lives of those around her. Her time at Palma Sola Elementary School, where she served as a paraprofessional allowed her to share her love of children and nurturing spirit with countless young lives.
Debbie's friends and family held a special place in her heart and she left an indelible mark on their lives. Her absence will be keenly felt by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her genuine affection and the warmth of her greetings will be dearly missed. As we mourn her passing, let us also celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the love she shared with everyone around her.
Mass will be held at 2 PM, Saturday, December 9, 2023, at Saints Peter & Paul the Apostles Catholic Church, 2850 75th Street W, Bradenton, FL 34209. A reception at Monsignor Moretti Hall will follow.
