Celebrating the life of
Carl Wilfred Johnson
June 9, 1941 ~ May 4, 2016
March 4, 1927 ~ April 16, 2016 A memorial service was held Saturday, April 30 at Beulah Alliance Church, Edmonton. Wilfred entered God’s presence peacefully and eagerly with the anticipation of meeting his Savior on April 16, 2016 at the age of 89 years. He leaves his wife of 66 years, May; his sons Danny (Brenda), David (Sharon); daughters Annamae (Darren), Carlene (Shane); sister Dorothy (Cliff) Hoyme; sister-inlaw Florence Johnson; 10 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews, brothers- and sisters-in-law. He was predeceased by his parents Carl and Tora, and his brother Leroy. Wilf grew up in the Meeting Creek area where he went to school. He attended PBI in Three Hills and later attended and graduated from PRBI in Sexsmith. There he met May Spiden and they were married in 1950. Wilf and May went to India from 1950 to 1964. They were called to PRBI in 1966. Wilf took on the challenge of building up PRBI. Wilf and May spent 1966 to 1980 on campus and then spent three years at Trinity Western University. He returned to PRBI from 1983 to 1987. Wilf went to Edmonton to Pastor the Evangelical Free Church in Millwoods until his retirement in 1992. The culmination of his work saw this community church build a new facility. Wilf never really retired. He served as the Western Representative for Christar. He became chaplain of the Good Sam RV Club in Camrose and was a guest speaker at the Chinese congregation in Millwoods. Wilf loved his family and was known to support them at all their events. “There wasn’t a prouder Grandpa anywhere!” Wilf experienced a stroke in December of 2014. The Lord granted us the most special 16 months of time with him. We learned so much about his life and his faithfulness to the Lord. It was Wilf’s calling to introduce everyone he met to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We have no doubt that the Lord will say “Well done thou good and faithful servant”.
