[Oe List ...] FW: Completed Life of Marileen Elizabeth Johnson

[Marian Karpoff]

We experienced Marileen and Don’s gracious hospitality in Iowa when we moved to Seattle from Ohio in 1988. After a time they joined us and our family for a backyard picnic here. We wrote every Christmas and followed their peace-making work all these years. Marileen was a a joy and a delight to share in life.

Marian and Fred

>> Marilee and Don were part of the Local Church Experiment.  They worked in the LCX in Salt Lake City and were part of the Edmonton Religious House in Canada.  John and I met them when they were in Iowa and we were in Kansas City and later back in Chicago. Their teenaged daughter Mary Johnson was part of the Student House and later became a teacher with handicapped students at the time of her too early death in 1983.

>> Don and John shared an avid interest in golf as well as the Local Church.  Our connections rekindled when John began his writing.  Their work in local community has been legendary with both California politics, and environmental concerns.  I recall that Marileen  and Don were part of the Campaign Managing team for John Gibson’s run for Mayor of Indianapolis.  Marilee’s  Christmas letters of all that she was doing with schools  (she also was an educator) and local actions made me dub her as one  of the Energizer Bunnies.  Don and Marileen were married for 70 years!!!
