Mary LuVaughn Johnson September 4, 1934 – March 5, 2017 We celebrate the life of Mary LuVaughn Johnson, better known by family and friends as “Vonnie”. She was born on September 4, 1934, near Yuma, Yuma County, Colorado, to the late Vera Evelyn McNichols and Leslie George Aagesen and passed away at Camp Verde, Yavapai County, Arizona, on March 5, 2017, at the young age of 82 years, in the arms of her daughter, and surrounded by other family and friends. She was the fifth of seven children born to Vera and Les. She is preceded in death by her parents, two older brothers, Elvin Arthur Aagesen and Leslie Bert Aagesen, her two older sisters Pearl LuRynne McElroy and Vera LuElla Walker, and a younger sister, Agnes Lea Maggard, as well as her husband Harold Julius Johnson. Vonnie is survived by her three children. Timothy Joseph Sullivan and wife Saadia, of Newport News, Virginia; Margaret Marie (Tammy) Johnson, of Camp Verde, Arizona; and Kelly Ray Johnson and wife Terri of Grove, Oklahoma; 16 grandchildren, 44 great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild; one sister, LuJean Zwirn of Sterling, Colorado, and numerous nieces and nephews. Vonnie had a great capacity to love. She not only loved her husband, she also loved her own children’s spouses as well as Harold’s children and their spouses: Joyce & Jim Morrelli of Portland, Oregon; Garry & Anneli Johnson of Gilbert, Arizona; Ron & Becky Johnson of Gilbert, Arizona; and Susan and her late husband Jim Healy of Salinas, California, as if they were her own. There are eleven of her husband’s grandchildren, and twenty-two great-grandchildren which she claimed as her own. Many may never realize how much they were loved by her.
