Nancy Lynn Johnson

Nancy Lynn Johnson, Age 70, of Stillwater MN. Formerly of Minneapolis MN, passed away on Sept. 25, 2018. Nancy was a fantastic artist, poet, and comedian and retired as an Art Consultant at Art Resources Gallery. She loved to play tennis, golf, and volleyball. She also loved boating on the St. Croix and wintering in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. She lit up a room when she walked in and always knew just the right thing to say. She would dance with abandon and made us laugh daily. She appreciated every sweet moment life had to offer. She loved people and, those closest to her, she loved fiercely. She will be sorely missed by by all who love her. She is survived by Victoria Barkley, her partner of 24 years; step-children Scott Barkley and Denise (Eric) Coon, sister Judy (Peter) Johnson Alfaro; niece Lainie Alfaro; and nephews Tim (Sarah) Kingsley, Aaron (Courtney) Johnson and Brett (Kalie) Johnson. She is preceded in death by parents Elaine and Grant Johnson, sister Janice Johnson, and her brothers, Larry and Ron Johnson. Please join the celebration of Nancy's Life and at Ascension Episcopal Church on Oct. 6, 2018 at 11:00am, 214 N. 3rd. St. Stillwater MN 55082. Memorials will be given to four charities and The Gay Man's Chorus.
