They are survived

They were
predeceased by their daughter, Karen Johnson Birchenough (1999), their son,
Kenneth Frederick Johnson (2020), brother Paul (Nan)
and sisters, Ruth and Charlotte (Fred).
Annette was born
in New York
on January 17th,
1927 to Frank and Rose Argento.
Fred was born in New York on August 19th, 1923 to Paul and Catherine Johnson
Fred was enlisted
in the U.S. Army and served during World War II in the 69th Regiment out of
New York City. They
married January 31, 1948.
Fred attended The
NYS Ranger School in Wanakena, NY. He
worked his way around different posts, eventually becoming the district
manager and ran the former DEC Tree Nursery, in
Lowville NY.
Nan was a telephone
operator and worked and volunteered at the Lewis County
General Hospital
gift shop.
They made a home
together on Sunset Drive in Lowville,
NY and raised two children,
Karen Ruth Johnson and Kenneth Frederick Johnson.
In 1981 they
retired to Long Island,
NY and eventually in 1987, to
Sedona, AZ where they enjoyed the weather,
playing tennis and cards, and cooking Italian cuisine. They were avid
hikers into their 80’s. Fred continued his love of the outdoors with
his gardening and landscaping with plants native to the area. They traveled
extensively abroad together and welcomed visits from their grandchildren
most summers.
No calling hours
or services will be held.
We would like to
thank the nurses and other staff that cared for Nan
at the Lewis County General
Hospital and nursing
home, Terrace at Woodland Assisted Living in Rome, and most recently Sunset Nursing
and Rehabilitation
Center in Boonville.
Donations can be made to any of the facilities listed above and The NY
Ranger School, in their names.
