WOOSTER – Last Thursday evening, November 20, 2008 Helen M. Johnson, 82, of Wooster, died at her residence after a stoic battle with cancer.
Helen was born April 4, 1926 in Foster, Oklahoma to Gerald and Francis (Simms) Alexander. She was a graduate of Pampa (Texas) High School and attended Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas and Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
While at Trinity she met Air Force cadet, Guilford Guil G. Johnson, whom she subsequently married in St. Louis on March 26, 1946.

Although Helen worked for the telephone company in Oxford immediately after the War and in the intervening years in Wooster as a bookkeeper at Gerstenslager Inc., the Interchemical Paint Co. and later at Imhoff & Long, her life-long vocation was devoted wife, mother and homemaker.
