Obituary: Irene Gladys Johnsen



Irene Gladys (Gardine) Johnsen was born October 17, 1948 in Holdrege, Nebraska and went home to be with the Lord on January 22, 2018 in Exeter, Nebraska.

Irene was the 4th of 8 children born to Earl & Viola (Johnson) Gardine. She grew up on the family farm North of Loomis, Nebraska. She graduated from Loomis High School in 1967 and worked at many jobs in that area including Brewster Hospital, Methodist Memorial Homes, Bertrand Nursing Home, Holdrege Dairy Queen, and Speedway Transportation.

She married Harvey Dan Johnsen on December 21, 1991 and they made their home in his hometown of Exeter, Nebraska. She worked at Warren Memorial Hospital and Friend Manor before taking a job at Murphy Plumbing & Heating, Inc. in Exeter. She worked there until health reasons forced her to retire.

She loved sharing her faith and started a Bible Study and Vacation Bible School in her home in Exeter. She loved to read and write articles and poems and had some published. She was passionate about Jesus, her family, and America. Spending time in those three areas gave her the greatest joy.
