JOHNSON Mary C. Johnson passed away January 4, 2011 in San Antonio. She was born Mary Catharine Borengasser on September 10, 1925 in Ft. Smith, Arkansas, the daughter of Katrina Michely and John Borrengasser. She was the youngest of six children, having five older brothers. She graduated from St. Scholastica Academy in Ft. Smith in 1943 and was active in the Catholic Church her entire life. Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Harry 1993 and her son Charles 1995. She married Harry O. Johnson on August 22, 1944 and was the mother of 6 sons. During Harry's 30 year military career, the family lived in South America and Japan. They were fortunate to spend the last part of their military life in San Antonio, where Harry managed the Boots and Saddle club at Ft. Sam Houston. Mary was quite active in St. Mary Magdalen parish during the early family years and later in St. Brigid's parish, attending mass daily. Mary's mother had immigrated from Neiderwurzbach, Germany as a young girl. Mary discovered she had relatives still in Germany and was delighted to be able to make two trips to become acquainted. Mary began a career of her own working at USAA from 1976 through 1987. She took an early retirement partly due to the fact of her youngest son Charles' diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis. Mary moved to The Village at Incarnate Word in January 2007 where she lived quite happily until her death. She is survived by her sons, Bill Tedi, Jim Sharon, John Jeanette, Tom Paula, and Bob Sue.
