Carolyn “Jerre” Johnson, of Marion and Punta Gorda, FL, died February 15, 2016.
Born Carolyn Jermyn in Hingham, she graduated from Quincy City Hospital School of Nursing in 1945. She married the late Charles A. Johnson Jr., her husband of 64 years, and remained in Hingham to raise their children in homes they built. She practiced private duty nursing and served at bloodmobiles under the auspices of The American Red Cross.
She sang with “The Three J’s” in high school and later with the Hingham Civic Chorus in many lively operettas. She most enjoyed caring for her home and family, canning vegetables from the garden and reading. They moved to Marion in 1971, where she learned to play golf at The Kittansett Club and enjoyed 45 years of friendships.
She is survived by her children, Robert Johnson (and wife Julie) of Sagamore Beach, and Susan Nichols (and husband Gary) of Marion; her grandchildren, Michael Johnson, Jennifer Johnson, Sara Calderwood and Tracy Roberts; and three great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her granddaughter, the late Laura Johnson
