Dale Johnson passed away peaceably, with his family at his side, on April 1, 2024, at Glasgow Gardens. He was 82 years of age.
Walter Dale Johnson was born May 29, 1941, on the family farm east of Glasgow to Francis and Emma (Johanning) Johnson. He graduated with the Glasgow High School class of 1959 and went on to attend the University of Missouri.
Dale, in his younger years, had a hay crew. Growing up on a farm, he and his four brothers learned how to work. He used this work ethic when farming as well as hauling lime, grain and tobacco. He married Karen Oser on September 7, 1963, at St. Mary Church in Glasgow. The couple have enjoyed 60 years of marriage. Dale was an active member of St. Mary Church. As an usher, he would often greet people as they came into church with a smile and maybe some humor. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus, an MFA Oil delegate, and served with the Extension Council for a number of years. He loved visiting with family, friends, or strangers, tractor rides with grandkids and great-grandkids, playing cards, and an occasional trip to the casino. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife, Karen, two daughters, Debbie Johnson of Glasgow and Karla (Kevin) Weiseman of Richmond, Va., six grandchildren, Mitchell (Kendra) Fuemmeler, Megan (Jake) Langendoerfer, Kyle Fuemmeler, Jake (Annie) Weiseman, Mikaela (Patrick) Henry and Alyssa (Luke) Hellebusch, nine great-grandchildren, Ava, Jayson, Macklin, Zach, Josie, Miles, Max, Mason, and Kali, one sister, Judy (Maury) Morris of Edmond, Okla., and a sister-in-law, Dorothy Johnson of Kansas City, Mo. Besides his parents, Dale was preceded in death by five brothers, Jerry, Johnny, Kenneth, James, and Larry Johnson, as well as two sisters-in-law, Leanna and Marilyn Johnson.
A funeral mass honoring Dale will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, April 5, 2024, at St. Mary Church in Glasgow with Fr. Joshua Duncan officiating. Visitation will be from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Friemonth-Freese Funeral Home. Burial will be in Washington Cemetery. In Lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to St. Mary Church or School in care of Friemonth-Freese Funeral Service, 112 Market St., Glasgow, MO 65254.
