Vionne Edell Johnson

Vionne “Vi” Edell Johnson of Chelsea, Michigan, age 94, passed away Monday, August 18, at Chelsea Retirement Community. Vionne was born in 1930 as the youngest child of a Scandinavian farm family in Granite Falls, MN – the much-loved daughter of Emil Carl and Hulda Nelson.

In December of 1951, Vionne married her high school sweetheart and trombone rival, Kenneth E. Johnson. Fifty-nine years of marriage and corporate moves took them to Minneapolis, New Jersey, Iowa, Northern Minnesota, Kansas, Maine, and finally here in Chelsea. With each move, Ken and Vi would become active members in their local churches, making enduring friendships along the way. Vionne was an elementary school teacher, a homemaker, a Deacon of the Presbyterian Church, and most recently a member of the Huron River Methodist Church of Dexter. Kenny and Vi’s shared wanderlust also led to travel around the world. Well into her 94th year, Vionne was a lively companion on family trips, near and far. She will be missed for her grace, wisdom, and laser-like wit.

Michael Louis Roskowski

His was a story about a man, a motorcycle, a dog, and a kingdom created from old tires, refrigerators, rusty scrap metal and love. As a father, he taught his two children (three if you count the dog) to see the beauty in all things. With his bare hands he built a house for his family, brought cars back from the dead and cooked one heck of a flying saucer sandwich.

As a friend he would give you the shirt off his back, had he been wearing one. Whether waterskiing or fishing at the lake, hunting to put food on the table, or chopping down trees to feed the furnace in the winter, Mike was a true outdoorsman…with his dog by his side wherever he went.

Above all Mike loved riding his Harley with his wife’s arms around his waist, the wind in his hair and sunglasses on…adventure awaited around every corner.
