LAURELL "BUD" T. JOHNSON
March 5, 1923 ~ February 5, 2015
"He was proud to be a member of the "Greatest Generation".
Laurell "Bud" T. Johnson of Washougal, Washington, passed away on Thursday, February 5, 2015 at Cascade Park in Vancouver, Washington. He was born on March 5, 1923 in Cooperstown, North Dakota to Hans and Esther Johnson. He moved to Washougal, Washington at an early age and graduated from Camas High School in Camas, Washington in 1942.
Bud was employed by Crown Zellerbach-Camas in Camas, Washington for 43 years.
He joined the U.S. Army in 1943 and was a member of the 177th Repl Co. 38th Repl Bn, being stationed in Northern France, Rhineland and Central Europe and discharged in 1946.
Upon his return to Washougal, Washington, Bud enjoyed various activities, being a member of the Zion Lutheran Church, Vancouver Elks, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 4278, Camas-Washougal and American Legion-27 Camas. He was also a member of the United Paper Worker's International Union.
For many years, Bud was a companion to Evelyn Johnson, his sister-in-law, following the death of his brother Clifford and her husband. In his spare time, Bud enjoyed playing cards, cribbage and visiting the local casinos. He also enjoyed good jokes and cartoons. Since he had many cousins living in Montana, one could find him during the summer enjoying the ranching activities. A true cowboy at heart.
Bud is survived by three nieces, Gail Hitchcock,
Debra Waddington, Tana Lively; nephews, Steve R. Johnson and Harry Lively; great-niece, Allison Waddington; and nephews, Matthew Johnson and Aaron Johnson.
The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the staff at Cascade Park in Vancouver, Washington for their attentive care during the past month and to the Camas Hills Care Home in Camas, Washington for their exceptional care to Bud during the past year.
Military services on Friday, February 13, 2015 at the Zion Lutheran Church in Camas, Washington, reception following. Private vault interment will be held at the Camas Cemetery in Camas, Washington.
