Constance ‘Connie’ Elaine (Fredson)
Johnson passed away at home on Saturday,
November 5th, 2022 at the age of 69. She
was born on April 23rd, 1953, in Shelton,
Washington, to Ken and Alice (Greenwalt)
Fredson.
Connie never hesitated to open her heart
and home to those in need, offering love and
support unconditionally. She always put
herself last, giving her heart and soul to help
someone. Her ability to comfort those around
her by accepting and loving them as they
were, without judgment, was special and
rare...her family will miss this most.
Connie’s first official job was working for
the Mason County Sherrifi’s Office (see article
insert) before heading to college and then
to work for the Governor after graduation.
During this time, she met the love of her
life, Dean Johnson, and went on to marry.
him. When her mother was diagnosed with
a terminal illness, Connie left her job at the
Governor’s office to care for her. Not only did
she care for her mother, but she also extended her care giving and
began an in-home daycare. After helping to raise her ‘Daycare’ kids,
as well as her own, she and her husband went to work for FEMA. It
was this job that made her dream of travel possible while allowing
her to continue to help people in need at the same time. Although she
traveled cross country several times, she was never able to achieve
her dream of visiting Hawaii. Her family feels she is probably having
the best time learning to hula in heaven. The squirrels continued to
be well taken care of with the industrial size bag of peanuts kept by
her front door at all times.
Connie was preceded in death by her parents and husband. She is
survived by her children; son Craig (April) Johnson, daughter Kari
(Ben) Waylett, bonus daughter Melissa ‘Lou’ Brush; grandchildren;
Easton Waylett, Kaia Johnson, Kena Waylett, Baylor Olson, and
Molly Olson; and her brothers Jeff Fredson and Michael Fredson.
She was a dedicated mom, Grammy, sister, cousin, best friend,
surrogate mom, aunt, neighbor and caregiver. A Celebration of Life
will be held in her honor on January 28th, 1:00 p.m. —' 3:00 pm. at
the
Arcadia Fire Hall.
