FOREST CITY - Betty Hutson Johnson, 82, of Forest City, died on Saturday, November 30, 2013, at the Muse Norris Hospice Inpatient Unit in Mason City.

Betty Hutson Johnson, the daughter of Harry and Myrtle (Lackore) Baker, was born on December 1, 1930, in Forest City.

They lived on a farm south of Forest City for a few years before moving into town. Betty enjoyed her work with her co-workers at Waldorf College and the Snyder Drug Store. In July of 1990, Dick passed away. A chance meeting rekindled a friendship, and she married Eugene "Gene" Johnson in December of 1995. Betty looked forward to visits with her family and attending her grandkids' sporting events. She and Gene enjoyed traveling to Rockport, Texas, for the winter months and to Washington in the summer to see Gene's family.
