Amy, Katie and Carrie Johnston created the  Bob & Kay Johnston Memorial Foundation in 2020 after the loss of their mother and father.  As they reflected on how grateful they were for the life and love they were provided by their parents, they wanted to try to find ways to pay it forward.  

​

Both Bob and Kay exemplified outstanding support to their communities.  Bob was a friend to absolutely everyone he met.  There were no boundaries to his gracious heart.  He welcomed new friends with opened arms and referred to old friendships as extensions to the family.  For Bob, it was always "FAMILY FIRST," and that family extended far beyond blood relatives.  He treated all people as equals, no matter age, race, shape, size, religious beliefs or history of wrong  doing.    

Kay Johnston was a peacemaker to anyone who needed a soothing soul to calm them.  She worked and retired from the local medical center, where she spent more than 25 years as a Labor and Delivery nurse and Child-Health Supervisor.  As a healthcare worker, Kay dedicated countless hours to working with those with medical needs in her community.  When she wasn't working or catching up on sleep, she was treasuring the time spent with her three daughters.  She was a sounding board to many and shared advice (both medical and personal) whenever she could, and always to benefit others.
