Eileen was born on February 21, 1931 to the late George and Louise (Heinz) Eizenhoefer in St. Cloud.  She was united in marriage to Harold L. Johnson in 1952 in St. Cloud. Eileen was a devoted and loving wife and mother all of her life, and she treasured time with her grandchildren in her later years.  She enjoyed spending time at the cabin on Wabedo Lake in Longville, where she enjoyed fishing and the outdoors. After Harry retired, they moved to Longville and called it “home” for many years before moving back to St. Joseph to be closer to family. She was a member of St. Joseph’s Parish.

Eileen is survived by her sons, Rick (Eileen), Randy (Karen) and Todd (Kim); seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; brother-in-law, Dave Osterholt; sister-in-law, Marcy and many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 68 years, Harry; infant daughter, Sandra; brothers, George Jr., Jerome, Edward, Thomas Eizenhoefer; and sisters, Lucille Reiter, Marion Reiter, Dolores Jansky.
