Darlene was born January 2, 1949 at the family home in Redby, the daughter of
Frank “Ole” and Lucille (Holinday) Johnson. Due to lifelong health issues with
Epilepsy, Darlene was unable to finish her education, but did attend schools in
Red Lake. Her Indian name Zoongi-gah-bow-eke-quay, which means “Strong
Standing Women”, was handed down to her from her maternal grandmother (Lucy).
She enjoyed going to casinos, playing cribbage and bingo. She always enjoyed
going to pow-wows with her family throughout her life, where she made many
friends. Her favorite things to do were being outdoors, or going out riding to watch
for Eagles.
She is survived by her sisters, Yvonne “Moonie” Johnson, and Elaine Johnson,
both of Redby, Margaret White and Charlotte Johnson, both of Bemidji; a brother,
Joe Johnson of Bemidji; a special sister, Alyssa Roy of Redby; a special brother
Dwight “Binky” Johnson of Redby; several nieces, nephews, great nieces and
nephews, aunt, cousins and other extended family on the Johnson and Strong side.
Preceding her to the final resting place is; her parents, Ole and Lucille Johnson;
her brothers, Edward “Rug” Johnson, and Arnold “Tiger” Johnson; her sister,
Delores Ann; and several infant brothers and sisters; her grandparents, Ed & Lucy
(Strong) Holinday, and Jack “Gi-chi-ayabay” & Louise (Buckanaga) Johnson; her
aunt, Ennis Johnson; and her uncles, Little Frankie and Albert Johnson.
