She was born on December 21, 1916, in Tulsa, OK to Joseph and Mary Magdelene (Fassnacht) Elser. Her parents were German/Americans and farmed near Henrietta, OK. As a young woman, Mary traveled with her friend, Mildred Wyles, to Seattle for a visit. After returning to Oklahoma, she convinced her family to leave the Dust Bowl behind and move to the Pacific Northwest. In May of 1937, Mary, her parents, her brothers, Johnnie and Justin and her sister, Freda came to Washington. With the encouragement of her cousin, Alfred Sax, the family settled in the beautiful valley of Peshastin, where Mary continued to live for the rest of her life. Mary married H.J. "Jack" Johnson on August 23, 1941. Mary and Jack had three children, Barbara, Daniel and Jack. She was a loving mother and grandmother. All who knew her cherished her sense of humor, good nature, and practical "can do" attitude. Mary was always there to help, loved to be busy, and was the best "nurse" you could have around. She enjoyed knitting and sewing during the winter months when she couldn't be out gardening in her roses or vegetables. The effort of those endeavors warmed s when it was cold, nourished all who sat at her table, and gave us memories we will always hold dear. She worked many years at the packing sheds in Peshastin. She was a superb packer, good friend and well known for her sense of humor. She was also a founding member of the Peshastin ABC Club, loved to dance, and was a dedicated patron of the library. Her husband Jack preceded her in death in 1980. On April 27, 1984, she married Joseph Williams. They enjoyed many happy years together, traveling widely, camping, snowmobiling, going to casinos, and playing pinochle with friends. Mary loved her family very much and was loved by all who knew her. She especially enjoyed being around her grandchildren, watching and helping them grow. She appreciated their openness and joyful natures, and would often say, "We got to grow up together." Mary is survived by her husband, Joe of the family home; daughter and son-in-law, Barbara and Tom LoSasso of Denver, CO; sons and daughters-in-law, Dan and Shirley Johnson of Cashmere and Jack and Devera Johnson of Peshastin; niece, Connie Johnson and husband, Glen of Post Falls, ID; stepdaughter, Julie Williams of Florida; stepson, Robert Williams of Houston, TX; eleven grandchildren, Revelle Turner, Neal Johnson, Stefani Roth, Paul Fritz, Jake Johnson, Hart Johnson, Teddi Johnson, Christi Johnson, Erica Stanich, Kimberly Slattery and Kelsey Furfari; and six great-grandchildren, Brennan and Corine Turner, Zach and Josh Johnson and Brendan and Jared Roth. She is also survived by one sister, Freda Elser of Wenatchee; two sisters-in-law, Bonnie Elser and Dorothy Elser; and numerous nephews, nieces and friends. Mary was preceded in death by her first husband, Jack; her brothers, Johnnie and Justin; and by two sisters, Augusta and Margaret. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Hospice Care, and in home care-givers, Rose Squires and Ron Pflugrath. Mother, Grandmother and Wife, you will always be remembered with love.
