March 14, 1953 — August 20, 2018
Marietta “Mary” Emma (Huhman) Johnson passed away peacefully at her home in Lee’s Summit, Missouri on Monday, August 20, 2018 after her battle with cancer.
Marietta was born on March 14, 1953 in Jefferson City, MO, the third daughter of Herman and Pauline (Beck) Huhman. She grew up on a farm by the Osage River ,and graduated from St. Elizabeth R-IV Schools in 1971. She earned a BS degree in Education with an emphasis in Mathematics and a Masters degree in Mathematics and P.E. from Central MO State University. She taught junior high math in the Waynesville and St. James R-I School District, then moved to Kansas City in 1985. She worked for Shook, Hardy, & Bacon LLP where she was a data base administrator for 31 years. She retired in April 2018. Mary enjoyed working in crafts, including stained glass, sewing, and beadwork, and was an avid reader, collecting books and sharing them with family and friends. She treasured vacation time with family and friends, camping at the Lake of the Ozarks. Mary was always a cheerleader at her many nieces’ and nephews’ ballgames, plays, and special events, and every family gathering found her holding the babies. In the face of illness, she never lost her grace or optimism.
Mary married Richard C. Johnson in Lee’s Summit on April 27, 1991, and he survives. Also surviving are four sisters: Dianne (Gene) Heckemeyer, Elaine (Gary) Kempker, Jean (Tom) Howard, and Linda (Sam) Volmert; and four brothers: Joe (Lerilee), Tom (Teresa), Sam (Julie), and Pat (Cara) Huhman, along with 35 nieces and nephews, one step-daughter, and two grandchildren.
