Marcella "Sallie" Johnson, 75, Minot, (formerly of Des Lacs), passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 9, 2021, at her daughter's home in Spokane, WA surrounded by her children.

Sallie was born September 18, 1945, in Minot to Herbert "Herb" and Emma (Asmundson) Schultz. She was raised and educated in Berthold. Sallie graduated from Berthold High School in 1963.

Sallie was joined in marriage to Dennis "Mike" Brayson on May 29, 1965. They made their home in Hawthorne, NV. Tragically, Sallie was widowed on September 30, 1966. Shortly after, she gave birth to their daughter Tandi, and they moved back to Berthold where she attended JAHR's Beauty School and attained her cosmetology license.

On September 6, 1969, Sallie married Richard "Dick" Johnson. Sallie and Dick had 2 children of their own and raised all 3 kids in Des Lacs. She kept an immaculate home, yard, and garden (even won yard of the year when that was still a thing). In 1994, they moved to Minot. Sallie worked as a hairdresser for several years, finishing her career at Shear Magic working with her very dear friend Darla Jost. Sallie was best known for her painting and cleaning; she had a tremendous work ethic and was one of the hardest working people around. She owned and operated S&K Painting/Cleaning and worked primarily with IPM until she retired in 2015.

Sallie attended Our Savior Lutheran Church, Minot. She bowled on a lady's league at North Hill Bowl for several years. She enjoyed visiting her children in Spokane, traveling with her family, lunch with friends, and getting together with her sisters and family. Sallie loved spending time in the sun and 'puttering' around her yard tending to her flowers during the summer. She also enjoyed shopping and finding a good 'gunga'! She never said no to a quick trip to the casino and always enjoyed laughing and visiting with family and friends!

Sallie was known for her generosity and hospitality and of course, that beautiful smile. Everyone that knew Sallie would agree she was a fancy lady!

Thank you to all our family and friends who have held us up in prayer and showered us with love during this exceedingly difficult time.
