RACINE – Marie Johnsen (nee: Cadman), 80, passed away peacefully at her home on Saturday, November 6, 2010, following a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Marie was born on June 19, 1930, in Durango, Colorado. She was the beloved daughter of Josef and Theresia (nee: Fuchsgruber – Cadman) Lindner. On October 2, 1948, she was united in marriage to LeRoy D. Johnsen at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in St. Martins. Following marriage, Marie and LeRoy settled and raised their family on a picturesque little farm in Raymond Township. Over the years, Marie made many dear and special friendships, including those she made during her 25 plus year career at C&D (Maple Leaf) Farms in Raymond and, most recently, at her home at Fountain Hills.
Marie leaves to cherish her memory her three children: Bob (Connie) Johnsen; Kathy (Tom) Hasenstein; and Paul (Lynn) Johnsen; her loving and thoughtful grandchildren: Terri (David) Radandt; Don (Shelly) Johnsen; Katie (Jack) DeWees; Heather (Jen Lister) Hasenstein; Jason (Marie) Hasenstein; John (Carriel) Johnsen; and Adam Johnsen; and her beloved great grandchildren: Duncan Radandt; Jay and Josh DeWees; and Alexis Marie and Leah Johnsen. Marie is further survived by her dear sister Joyce Peterson; her brother Joe (Rosemary) Lindner; and her sister-in-law Elaine Cadman. She was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband LeRoy, her brothers Gerald and Glenn Cadman and brother-in-law Richard (Pete) Peterson. She is further survived by a host of loving nieces and nephews, other relatives and dear friends, including her lifelong best friend, June Goder.
