Suzann (Sue) Johnson was born on December 17, 1945, to John and Florence Skadberg in Duluth MN. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, at home in Two Harbors on July 3, 2025.
She lived a full and fascinating life. Born a preemie, the daughter of commercial fisherman of Isle Royale, growing up there and in Grand Marais, moving to Duluth in 1970, then moving to Two Harbors in 1980 where she continued raising 3 feral children plus keeping our Dad on his toes. That “I’m a tough Norwegian and I can do it” really was her motto in life.
She was a lifetime (42 yrs) member of Moose Lodge 1463 Chapter 109 Two Harbors where she had become a big part. She became Sr. Past Regent, received her college degree and red stole, academy of friendship, top sponsor award, and just recently awarded the lifetime achievement. I know there are more. Mom and Dad spent many hours at the Moose decorating and helping out with whatever was needed. She later also became a member of the Proctor Moose Lodge.
She is preceded in death by her parents, John and Florence Skadberg, and her husband, Frank Johnson.
She is survived by her brother, Gene (Mary Ann) Skadberg; daughters, Gena Paige and Lezlie Johnson; and son, Wade (Jamie) Johnson; grandchildren, Darren O’Hehir, Alyssa (Shane) Moran, Michelle (Wayne) Johnson, Cory Swanson, Heidi (Tommy) Soar, Mallory (Evan) Swanson, Katherine Paige, Sean Paige, Callie Jo Johnson, Jace Johnson; and two great grandchildren, Oliver and Olivia Soar.
So many friends she also considered family.
A celebration of her life will be held at the Moose Lodge Two Harbors, Monday July 14th, from 2-6 PM.
