Bonnie J. Johnson, 70, of the Town of Oppenheim, Dolgeville, New York, passed away peacefully on Monday morning, April 17, 2023 at St. Johnsville Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in St. Johnsville, New York after a valiant fight against cancer.

She was born on November 28, 1952 in Little Falls, New York and was the daughter of the late, John and Grace (Augar) Leavitt. Bonnie attended Dolgeville Central School and graduated with the Class of 1971.

On August 6, 1977, Bonnie was united in marriage to Joel D. Johnson in Dolgeville, New York. The couple shared a union of 42 years together until Joel’s passing on May 19, 2020.

Lastly, Bonnie worked for Oriskany Manufacturing in New Hartford until her retirement five years ago.

She was of the Methodist faith and enjoyed gardening, sewing, art, and cooking and baking for her family. She loved spending time outdoors including camping on Powley Road throughout the years. Bonnie’s most precious time was spent in the company of her cherished grandchildren. A loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Bonnie will be missed by all who knew her.
