Annette Louise (Schulz) Johnson (73) passed away peacefully surrounded by family on February 18, 2025. Annette was born on June 29, 1951, in Britton, South Dakota. She was the first child born to Robert and Lois Schulz. She lived in Britton for two years and Pierre, South Dakota for three years before moving to Rapid City, South Dakota, where she lived until adulthood. Annette attended Rapid City Public Schools, graduating in 1969. In high school she played flute and especially enjoyed band trips throughout the region.

Annette attended South Dakota School of Mines and Technology for two years and completed her formal education at South Dakota State University in Brookings, SD. She graduated in 1973 with a major in Economics and a minor in Math. While at SDSU she met Terry and they were married on December 28, 1973, at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls, SD. They lived briefly in Alexandria, Virginia, and Sioux City, Iowa, before establishing permanent residence in Omaha, NE where Terry was employed with Omaha Public Power District. Annette worked in banking and as a computer operator before starting their family and becoming a full- time homemaker. Brian, born in 1978, and Kristin, born in 1982, were fortunate to have their loving Mom at home during their busy school years as their activities were always her main focus. Annette also pursued her passion for reading by working at Borders Books & Music for many years. Annette also enjoyed baking, quilting, and needlework in her spare time. She especially liked to travel to San Francisco, Minnesota, Colorado, Chicago, and the Black Hills to enjoy the scenery and visit relatives and grandchildren.

She is survived by Terry, loving husband of 51 years; son, Brian Johnson (Andrea) of Erie, Colorado, daughter, Kristin Schultz (James) of Chicago, Illinois; grandchildren: Sophia Johnson, Nathan Johnson, Landon Schultz, Josephine Schultz, and Grant Schultz; brother, Keith Schulz of Rapid City, SD, and sister, Diane Simpson of Bemidji, MN; many cousins, nephews, nieces and friends who will all fondly remember her.
