Margaret Rosenkrans Rapp Johnson CANANDAIGUA - Margaret Johnson, also affectionately known as Maggie, peacefully left this world on Nov. 16, 2008. She was 85 years old. Margaret, the daughter of Foster and Bernice Jones was born in Grove City, Pa. and grew up in Detroit, Mich. with her brother Robert and sister Ruth. Margaret and John Rosenkrans were married in 1945. For many years they live in Seneca Falls, N.Y. while raising their family. Margaret was a much-beloved teacher of English and speech at Mynderse Academy. She was a very active member of the First Presbyterian Church, serving on boards and teaching Sunday school. While her husband served as president of Eisenhower College, Margaret hosted numerous events at her home for the staff, students and townspeople. She was also instrumental in founding the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls. In 1988 Margaret married Dr. Marvin A. Rapp who she had met through their mutual activities at Spare Time Travel in Canandaigua. Marvin bestowed her with the nickname Maggie. Margaret married Alfred D. Johnson in 2001, a friend from her First Presbyterian Church days in Seneca Falls. She was a resident of Canandaigua for more than 30 years and active in the United Church where she enjoyed the fellowship of its members. Margaret had many interests. She was a wonderful cook and especially enjoyed baking. She was known for making hundreds of cookies for family get-togethers. A love of nature was instilled in her at an early age by her father on the family farm in Indiana and she maintained a lifelong journal of bird sightings. Books and music were a constant joy to her. She was an athlete in her youth and ardent sports fan of baseball, football and golf throughout life. Margaret was devoted to her family and friends, taking great delight in gatherings both large and small. Her warmth, sincerity and wonderful laugh extended beyond descriptive words and will be dearly missed. She is survived by her husband, Al Johnson; family, Robert and Maureen Rosenkrans of Seneca Falls and their children, Amy and Jeff, Jane Rosenkrans of Newport Beach, Calif.; Ruth (Rosenkrans) and Russell Fry of Plymouth, Mass. and their children, Christie (Fry) and David MacElhiney and Russell and Stephanie Fry; Peter and Pamela Rosenkrans of Chester, Va. and their children, Darrin and Stephanie; and Eric and Frances Rosenkrans of Union Springs, N.Y.
