Obituary

Reah Kathleen (Wilscam) Johnston, 89, of Yuma, Arizona passed away surrounded by her loving family and under the care of Hospice Compassus at the Yuma Nursing Center on May 9, 2023.

Born on December 31, 1933 in Wichita, Kansas, she was the daughter of George and Belle Wilscam. Reah was the youngest of four and raised in Wichita until she met and married her husband Gofray (Jack) Johnston on October 1, 1955.  In the early years of their marriage, they moved their young family across Kansas, Nebraska and North Dakota for Jack's job before settling down for many years in the Twin Cities Minnesota area. In her adult life, she cherished the time spent with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and friends. She loved to cook and share her many delicious recipes with anyone and everyone! Reah was a life long devout Jehovah's Witness.

Reah is survived by her loving children Michael (Karol) Johnston of Yuma, AZ and Kathleen (Rob) Odegaard of White Bear Township, MN, as well as her grandchildren: Nick (Angie) Dabruzzi, Danielle (Jess) Pfeifer, Nicole Hydukovich, Sarah (Brian) Shain, Laura Odegaard and Kristen (Dawson) Allen.
