Teresa Marie Johnson

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mother, Teresa Marie (Hagen) Johnson September 6, 1944 - December 4, 2025 Teresa was beautiful, kind, non-judgmental and as honest as the day is long. Dude summed it up when he said “Mom didn’t have a bad bone in her body.” She always put others first and her kids and grandkids were her everything. She was so excited to have recently become a great grandmother, not once but twice. Teresa was born in Benson Minnesota, one of seven daughters to Albert and Myrtle (Ellingson) Hagen. She was also blessed with seven brothers, one of them being her twin. Teresa had various jobs throughout the years but lunch lady was her most fulfilling. She loved feeding the kids and became fast friends with her co-workers. In early years Teresa and her family went on many camping and fishing trips in their blue bus. Lake Emily was a frequent destination. She joined a bowling league but played strictly for fun. Teresa and her sisters made and donated many quilts to Mission Sew. Lefse and flatbread making was an annual tradition and Teresa had it down. Teresa also enjoyed reading true crime books and watching true crime tv. Teresa is survived by her children DuWayne (Marlene) of Benson, Tammy Flynn (David) of Tucson, AZ, Jon (Allison) of Tucson, AZ, grandchildren: Dena, Darcy, Grant, Clay, Carlie, Magnus and great grandchildren Miles and Presley. Siblings Lillian Molden, Connie (Paul Flaten), Sally (Vern) Bierbaum, Julie (Paul) Anderson, Lonnie (Sharon) Hagen, Ronald (Pat) Hagen; sister-in-laws LoAnn Hagen, Pat Hagen and Paulette Hagen.
