Virginia Johnston celebrates 95th birthday

An open house celebrating Virginia Johnston's 95th birthday will take place Sunday, Sept. 27, from 2 – 4 p.m., at the home of Donald and Rita Johnston, 42020 CR 108, Grover.

Virginia was born Sept. 30, 1920 in Greeley, to Marvin and Edith Buckendorf. Her family moved to the Sligo/Grover area when she was one year old. She married Wilbur Johnston on March 12, 1938, and together they owned and operated the 11M Ranch south of Grover, until Wilbur's death in 2004.

Virginia was a member of the Sligo "Wide Awake Club" and Coleman Community Association, and an election judge in the Grover precinct for many years. She is our beloved "Aunt Ginnie" to three generations of nieces and nephews. She still resides on the 11M Ranch today, and looks forward to visiting with friends and family.
