- Bio: Inga A. Johnson
July 24, 1910 - June 9, 2005
Inga Annette Johnson, longtime resident of Corvallis, died in San Diego, Calif., where she was staying near her daughter, Judi Dow. She was 94 years old and suffered from Alzheimer's, disease. Inga was born the last child of Hannah A. and Sigvart C. Johnson on a farm in Chippewa County, Minn., that had been homesteaded in 1866 by her grandparents. During her grade school years, she rode a pony to a one-room country school-house and did chores on the farm. She attended high school in Montevideo, Minn., and attended the University of Minnesota, where she graduated from the School of Nursing in 1932. While at the University, she married James Gibson Johnson, II, of Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Their honeymoon, she remembered, as it was the depths of the Great Depression, was a long ride on the city trolley. After college, Inga was a homemaker and worked as a registered nurse at a variety of hospitals and private positions in Minnesota, Arizona, New Jersey, Kansas, Indiana, Virginia, Massachusetts, Wyoming, Colorado and Ohio. While living in Flagstaff, Ariz., she spent one day a week as a nurse on the Navajo Indian Reservation. She spent the last 25 years of her career working in geriatrics at the Ohio Presbyterian Home in Sidney, Ohio, retiring shortly before her 75th birthday. Throughout her life, she enjoyed music and dancing, playing bridge, gardening, , and keeping pet dogs and cats. After the death of her husband, she moved to Corvallis to live with her son. She enjoyed walking and watching the animals on his farm. She especially enjoyed the activities provided by the Corvallis Grace Center.
Inga was preceded in death by her brother, George, who died in World War I in a German P.O.W. camp; her brother, Simon; sisters, Sophie Johnson, Alma Quillen Hill and Ella Schuman; and by her husband. She is survived by her daughter, Judi; sons, Simon, and James G. Johnson, III; six grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. Interment will take place at the family plot in Minnesota.
