Marjorie June Jacobs Johnson

January 16, 1928 — June 8, 2019

Marjorie Johnson passed away on June 8, 2019 in Bellingham. Margie was born in Wayne, Nebraska to Gus and Irma (Rennick) Jacobs and grew up on her parents’ ranch in northeast Wyoming. She returned to Wayne in 1945 to attend college where she met and married the love of her life, Rex Johnson who had just returned from serving in the Seabees in the Pacific during WWII.
She and Rex and their three children moved to Bellingham in 1961 where she graduated from WWSC and taught second grade at Roosevelt Elementary School until her retirement in 1986.
After retirement, she and Rex traveled extensively by motor home and boat and began wintering in Apache Junction, Arizona. Margie enjoyed her sewing circle, bridge groups and the many friends she made during her long and amazing life.
