Obituary for Kimberly Johnson
It is with the deepest sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our incredible mother, grandmother, and sister, Kimberly “Kim” Johnson (Pearson), who left us on December 16th, 2024 at the age of 58 due to natural causes.
Kim was born on February 11th, 1966, in New Hope, Minnesota. She was the youngest of four and the prized daughter of Albin “Al” and Carole Pearson. Her life has long been defined by a larger-than-life love and unparalleled support for her family. Kim dedicated her life to children as an early childhood education provider, touching many lives through the years. We celebrate her life knowing the world might just be a little better, and the universe a little brighter, because of the difference she made in a child's life. As a friend, she loved many very deeply regardless of the distance and time between them. Over her life, Pequot Lakes became her comfort home away from home. She enjoyed her weekend trips “up north” to be with her loved ones.
As a mother and grandmother, her kids and grandson were her entire world. Not only did Kim wear her heart on her sleeve, she always gave unwavering support and encouragement. Whether it was a stubborn acceptance or an overjoyed celebration of something small, she always gave her kids space to talk, experiment, fail, learn, and grow. Kim was always providing her ear for listening and a warm comforting hug to soothe all worries. Her selfless spirit showed through as she gladly met others' needs before her own.
Kim was preceded in death by her mother and father, Albin “Al” and Carole Pearson. She is survived by her daughter Sara Johnson, fiancé Brandon Soden, and her expected granddaughter (March 2025). Her son Matthew Johnson and grandson Archie Grove Johnson. Her brothers: Michael (Mary) Pearson, Jeffery Pearson, and Paul Pearson.

Our son recently passed away and of course you never expect to have to deal with this for your children so my wife and I were not only devastated but didn’t know what to do or where to turn next. Evans-Nordby was recommended to us by our Priest and I’m so glad he did. From the moment I talked to Tina on the phone I could tell we were in good hands as she took care of every detail. We met with her the next day and she went through all the aspects of what we were to expect in the coming days, weeks, then months ahead. Every employee we had contact with at Evans-Nordby was kind, compassionate and extremely professional. Thanks Tina and to all at Evans-Nordby for making an unbearable experience at least tolerable.
