Cheryl L. Johnson, age 65, of Juda, died unexpectedly on Saturday, January 25, 2025 at SSM Monroe Hospital. Cheri was born on January 30, 1959 in Portage, WI, the daughter of Stephen and Virginia (Halvorson) Eldred. She graduated from Brodhead High School in 1977 and was united in marriage to Roger Johnson on May 6, 1978 in Brodhead. Cheri enjoyed  bowling in leagues at Leisure Lanes and golfing leagues at Windy Acres. She was an avid reader, great cook, and loved to fish with her family especially at Avon Bottoms. Cheri always looked forward to the annual family camping trip to Devil’s Lake State Park and the winter trips to Florida with Roger. Her passion for family was evident as she helped run the family dairy farm in rural Juda.

She will be dearly missed by her husband of 46 years, Roger Johnson of Juda; her children, Greg Johnson of Brodhead, Amy Johnson (Matthew Wendelschafer) of Brodhead, Aaron Johnson of Juda; eight grandchildren, Grace, Casey, Evan, Lilly, Henry, Ava, Rori, and Emma; daughter-in-law, Kari Johnson of Juda; brother, Randy Eldred of Brodhead; two sisters, Debora Burkheimer of Beloit, Barb (Brian) Fish of Burlington; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; father and mother-in-law, Arnold and Joan Johnson; and three brothers, Steve, Gary, and David Eldred.

A celebration of Cheri’s life will be held at a later date. A memorial fund will be established in her name. The NEWCOMER FUNERAL HOME, Monroe, is assisting the family. Condolences may be shared at www.newcomerfuneralhome.net
