Obit Notice

An obituary was published

Katherine (Kathy) A. Johnson (Laird) passed away in her home in Olympia on August 30 after a courageous 15-month battle with cancer. Born June 10, 1943 in Eugene, Oregon to Robert E. "Bob" Laird, Sr., and Florence (Martin) Laird. She spent a majority of her childhood in Eugene with her older brother Edward and younger siblings, Stuart and Julie. The family moved to Stevenson, Washington in 1957 where she attended Stevenson High School for four years where she was an honor student and very active in school activities. This is where she met and fell in love with Wayne Johnson, her loving husband. She graduated from Stevenson High School in 1961.

Following graduation, she enrolled at then Washington State College in Pullman. Here she became the dyed in the wool hard-core Cougar fan that she remained throughout her life. Kathy and Wayne decided to get married which prompted a decision by Kathy following her freshman year to switch to Kelsey-Baird Business College in Spokane to complete a technical program in office administration so that she could support Wayne in his pursuit of his University education. Kathy and Wayne were wed on September 7, 1963 in Stevenson.

Their pursuit of Wayne's education and career led the couple through Ellensburg, WA, Kent, WA, Greeley, CO, Knoxville, TN, Lexington, KY, and Sandy, UT. They finally settled in Olympia in August of 1982. Along the way Kathy took on bookkeeping and administrative jobs, but she was most known as the ASB Secretary at Timberline High School in Lacey from 1984 to 2002. She always considered her most important job to be raising her children, Ryan and Karen. Kathy enjoyed many pursuits in life. Spending time with family and friends, quilting, sewing, traveling, birding, reading, boating, and watching sports on TV were some of her favorite pastimes.

Surviving are her husband Wayne, son Ryan Johnson and his wife, Tammy, Tenino; daughter Karen Zarate and her husband, Mark, of Olympia; and three grandchildren, Drew Johnson, Chase Zarate, and Katie Zarate. She is also survived by her mother, Florence Laird-Johnson of Olympia, brother Stuart Laird of Bend, OR; and sister Julie Laird of Fresno, CA. She was preceded in death by her father and her brother, Edward.

A memorial service will be held in her honor at St. Andrews United Methodist Church at 540 School Street SE, Lacey, WA 98503 Thursday, September 7, 2006 at 6:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice.
