She liked reading, engaging in political conversations, camping, swimming, playing softball and especially loved spending time with her family and friends.
Lola was also a great cook and will be remembered for the large meals she put on. Her potato salad was a particularly favorite request of those lucky enough to be cooked for by her.

She was preceded in death by her husband, George “Lee” in 2000; her parents; two brothers, Charles and Harlan Johnson; a sister, Beverly Doherty; and an infant brother.
A gathering of family and friends will be celebrating her life from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 8, at the VFW Post 2948 in International Falls.
