A Celebration of the Life of
Marjorie Eloise Johnson
Sunrise January 30, 1941 — Sunset October 30, 2025
Marjorie Eloise Johnson passed away peacefully on October 30, 2025, in Golden Valley, Minnesota. Born January 30, 1941, in East St. Louis, Illinois, Marjorie lived a life marked by grace, generosity, and joy.
She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Delbert Winston Johnson; her parents, Arthur Lee and Minnie Lee Sessom; and her sister, Audrey Guidon.
Marjorie graduated from East St. Louis Lincoln High School and, in 1960, married the love of her life, Delbert, in San Francisco. Early in her career, she worked as a laboratory technician before dedicating herself to creating a warm and loving home for her family.
She is survived by her sons, Arthur Johnson and his wife Pashell, and Delbert Johnson; and her grandchildren, Zachary Winston Johnson, Jeremy Lee Johnson, Jacob Arthur Johnson, Luke Sessom Johnson, and Delbert Patrick Johnson Jr.
An avid golfer, Marjorie achieved a career-low round of 75 and recorded three hole-in-ones. Her flair for decorating and interior design was second to none. In addition to her many talents, she was deeply committed to philanthropy, raising thousands of dollars for Parkinson’s care and research.
A Celebration of Life for Marjorie Eloise Johnson will be held on Sunday, November 17, at 2:00 p.m. at Brookview Golf Club, 316 Brookview Parkway, Golden Valley, MN 55426.
