It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Doris Johnson, 77, of Moncton and formerly of Melrose, NB. Doris passed away at the Moncton Hospital on Wednesday, August 26, 2026. Born in Bathurst, she was a daughter of the late Edmond and Evangeline (Wilmot) Gallant.
Doris loved having the whole family together for meals. She enjoyed cooking and baking and making sure everyone was well fed, including her pets. She was an avid attender of Bingo and loved playing cards. She was a larger than life personality who loved to tell funny stories and jokes. She was an advocate for Human Rights while employed with Canada Post making sure that no one mistook her deafness as a weakness.
She will be dearly missed by her daughter, Samantha (Alex) McLenaghan and her son, Andrew Johnson; her grandson, Colby (Abby) McLenaghan and her granddaughter, Emma Johnson, as well as her "twin" sister, Dianne Gallant.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband Kenneth Johnson and her siblings, Clem, Eileen and Yvon Gallant.
Arrangements are under the care and guidance of Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge Street, Sackville, NB (506-364-1300). A graveside service will be held at St. Bartholomew Roman Catholic Cemetery on September 23, 2026 at 2 pm.
