MINNIE LUCILLE JOHNSTON
JANUARY 14, 1955 – APRIL 22, 2026

It is with disbelief and great sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of our mom, Minnie Lucille Johnston, at 71 years of age on April 22, 2026, at St. Boniface Hospital.

Mom was born on January 14, 1955, in Thomas Point, MB. The family moved to Molson, mb, around 1965, where she was raised, went to school, raised her family (Seddons Corner, mb), and lived until her passing. Although mom spent most of her life in Molson, she did occasionally move away (Winnipeg, MB/Fort Frances, ON/Ignace, ON) and always returned to her roots.

Mom leaves behind five children to mourn her loss: Kelly (Russ), Henry (Janine), Shannon, Matthew (Larissa), and Joshua (Sarah). Her siblings are Laverne, Annette, Andrew, and Danny. Her grandchildren are Cara, David, Fallon, Cory, Eve, Hope, Henry Jr., Kimball, Aliya, Drew, Troy, Eden, Farrah, Joshua Jr., and Harlow. Her great-grandchildren are Aria, Saylor, Corey, Abel, Levi, and Tate. Her auntie Bernice, along with many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, and extended family.

Mom is preceded by her mom, Edna, dad Cyril, sister Joyce, ex-husband Albert, brother Eddie, and sister Elsie.

A wake will be held for her in Black River, at the Band Hall, on Tuesday, April 28th, at 6 pm, a private viewing for family and on Wednesday, April 29th, from 5 pm to 10 pm for family and friends.

Pallbearers will be: Henry, Matt, Joshua, Keith, Kimball, and Drew

Honorary pallbearers: Karl, Anthony, Steven, Andrew Jr., and Kyle

Mom requested a Celebration of Life to be held in Molson in lieu of a funeral service. The celebration of life will be held at a later date.

The wake will be a potluck. If you can, please bring a dish of your choice. Thank you so much in advance for your contribution to the feast.
