Edward Wayne Johnson
10/11/2025
Edward Wayne Johnson, 82, of Washington, MO, passed away on October 7,
2025. Mr. Johnson, son of the late William Johnson and Minnie nee
Whithouse, was born on April 27, 1943, in St. Louis. He received his
education from Hillsboro High School as well as extensive aviation
certifications. On November 25, 1978, he was united in marriage to Julia
Ann Auffenberg.
Mr. Johnson served his country honorably as a member of the United
States Navy. Ed was a proud Navy veteran of the Vietnam War as a skilled
flight engineer. Among many war medals, he cherished being awarded the
US Air Medal the most. For his service, he was recently honored with a
ceremony tribute by the St. Louis Honor Flight, escorted by the
Washington police and firefighters at his home in Washington.
Following the war, Ed dedicated his career to the aviation industry.
During his career, his family moved to various locations throughout the
country stretching from Danville, CA to Atlanta, GA. Because of his
leadership in professional and community organizations, the Greater
Omaha Chamber of Commerce awarded Ed with Small Business Person of the
Year in 1993. During his involvement with the Omaha Chamber, and along
with numerous civic affiliations, he co-founded the North Omaha Youth
Committee, arranging summer sports and mentoring activities for North
Omaha Youth.
Ed was a true warrior in every sense, fighting cancer with incredible
courage and faith for over 25 years. A true farm boy at heart, he found
joy in the country, the beauty of birds and his love for animals. He
loved visiting his roots in many small towns in Missouri, including
Fletcher and Ste. Genevieve. He took up the hobby of genealogy by
expanding family trees and visiting local family graveyards. Ed was
always a willing volunteer in his parishes and received the honor of the
Fourth Degree of the Knights of Columbus. He was actively involved in
the Washington Senior Center during the last years of his life. As he
slowed down his pace, he loved tracking trains and watching barges go up
and down the Missouri River. He carried faith in his heart, praying a
family Rosary daily. His love for his family was boundless. Family was
blessed to see him pass peacefully at home, surrounded by love. Forever
in our hearts.
Ed was preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Marritje Katherine
Johnson; sister, Vivian Schott and husband Jim, brother-in-law, David
Phelan Auffenberg, niece, Annie Grace Auffenberg, and grandson, Ryan
Gowen.

9/25/2025
Bernice "Tootie" Angela Borgerding, 86, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away on September 22, 2025, surrounded by her family.
Tootie, daughter of the late Oscar Ruether and Angela nee Ballmann was born on February 4, 1939, in Dutzow, Missouri, where she grew up on the family farm alongside her seven siblings. She spent her childhood on the farm, enjoyed playing softball, and hanging out with her many friends.
She attended grade school at St Vincent de Paul School and high school at St Francis Borgia High School. She was united in marriage to Carl Borgerding on June 27, 1959, at St. Vincent de Paul Church where they were active members for many years. Together, they built a home filled with love, and plenty of chaos.
Tootie and Carl were blessed with seven children, and later she became a devoted grandmother to sixteen grandchildren and great-grandmother to thirteen great-grandchildren. She took great joy in helping raise the younger generations, always offering a warm hug, wise advice, and plenty of love. She loved those babies, and her face would light up whenever they came to visit.
She had many passions, including reading, quilting, sewing and embroidery, volunteer work, and later, golf. But most of all, she loved caring for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who have many fond memories of growing up together and sharing many adventures at “GC” and “GT’s” house. She will be remembered for her kind heart, spunky personality, her witty sense of humor, and her unwavering devotion to her family.
Tootie's legacy lives on in the family she cherished so deeply and the countless lives she touched with her love and generosity. She will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to know her.
She was preceded in death by her parents; three brothers, Jerome Ruether and wife Eileen, Urban “Chick” Ruether and wife Sophie, and Thomas Ruether; five sisters, Mathilda Ruether, Louise Schwoeppe and husband Marvin, Margaret Holtmeyer and husband Alfred, Anna Wessel and husband Donald, and Joan “Joey” Heggemann and husband Donald; and three brothers-in-law, Richard Borgerding, Vincent Borgerding, and Kenneth Jasper.
