Dessa Johnson Heider Dessa Johnson Heider died peacefully at the age of 95 at the Ida Culver Nursing Home in Seattle on January 10, 2011 of age-related illness. Dessa was bom October 26, 1917 in Wood Lake, Nebraska to Alva Clayton Shaul and Cleona Mac (O&apos;Halloran). In 1920 her parents moved to Whitewood, South Dakota where Dessa grew up with her two sisters, Dorothy and Belva. After graduating from Whitewood High School in 1934, during the Great Depression, she married Lawrence K. Johnson, her high school sweetheart. In 1942 they moved west and joined relatives in Bremerton, Washington where Lawrence became a pipefitter in the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard during WWII, and Dessa was a homemaker raising the first three of their children. Subsequently they made their home in Shelton, Washington for over 20 years where Dessa continued to be a loving, dedicated mother raising her growing family of five children. At the same time she was a loving and supportive wife while Lawrence co- founded with two other partners the Meadowcreek Mill, cutting cants and lumber in one of the first portable sawmill operations in the Puget Sound region. The two of them became accomplished ballroom dancers, dancing every Saturday night with friends and family. Dessa was a self-sufficient and resourceful woman as well as vivacious, beautiful, spirited and artistic. She was always determined to make sure her children developed into responsible adults with the right social graces. Dessa became a widow after 33 years of marriage to Lawrence and as a single mother she retrained herself to become a professional secretary. She was subsequently employed by Boeing in that capacity and while living in Seattle she met Fred Heider, a Boeing engineer. Dessa and Fred had a fun and loving 15 year marriage with many trips to Reno and Hawaii until he passed away and she became a widow for the second time. For the past 10 years Dessa resided at the Ida Culver-Broadview Nursing Home receiving wonderful care from the Ida-Culver staff and her extended family. She had fun going to all the family events and even, at 90 years of age, was going to community dances with her family---whooping it up on the dance floor in her wheelchair and still the life of the party. Dessa was predeceased by her husbands Lawrence Johnson (1967) and Fred Heider (1993), sisters Dorothy Metzler (2010) and Belva Olson (2000). She is survived by her loving children Gwen Anderson, Teryl Payne, Kent Johnson, Billee Irwin, and Robyn Johnson and their spouses. Also feeling the loss are 11 grandchildren, 6 great grand-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews and friends. -- Paid Obituary Notice -- " ri 1| lilt- Weddin!7 Announcement Caryn Brand and Mi- chael Byron Clark of Shel- ton were married at 5 p.m. July 17, 2010 at the Fair Harbor Marina in Grape- view.
