He was a farmer and dairyman, having managed Woodruff's dairy in Union, Ore., and also worked for Swan's Dairy in Claremore for many years. He loved to fish, garden and have his family around him.

He is survived by his son, Sam and wife Shirley Johnson of Union, Ore., and his three daughters, Louise and Gene Peters of Kent, Wash., Mearlene and Wayne Elliott of Island City, Ore., and Linda and husband Jerry Reed of Claremore; daughter-in-law, DeeAnna Johnson of Coalinga, Calif.; 11 grandchildren, Brenda Payne of Idaho, Cheryl Wood and Terry Johnson, both of California, Crystal Amundson and Steve Hibbeln, both of Washington, Lori Nuquist, David Elliott and Patti Hansen, all of Oregon, Stacy Lemmings of Pryor, Scott Reed of Vinita and Stephanie Hadley of Claremore; 28 great-grandchildren; five great-great grandchildren; five siblings, Burnis Johnson of Union, Ore., Thurman Johnson, Lena Johnston, Ona Mae Vaughn and Theda Keeney, all of Springdale, Ark.; many nieces, nephews, Ethel's family and many friends.
