Selma Johnson

Selma Johnson, age 42, of rural St. Michael, ND, died Wednesday, November 25, 2015, near St. Michael.

Selma Florence Johnson was born May 23, 1973, in Devils Lake, ND, to Henry Sr and Shirley Johnson. Selma attended school in St. Michael, Warwick and at Bismarck High School. Selma was married to Galen "Chip" Whiteowl in New Town, ND, and made their home in Minot, ND.  Chip passed away August 18, 1998.  Later Selma moved to New Castle, Wyoming where she lived and worked, then later moved home to Spirit Lake to be with family and friends.

Selma always seemed to be a happy person, with a smile on her face. Whenever you saw her, she always had a joke and was giggling. Selma was a very kind-hearted person and she always tried to help someone. She will be dearly missed by her family, but always remembered.


She is survived by Kirk Johnson, Bismarck, Maureen Halsey (Perry) Bismarck, Adele Johnson (Michael), St. Michael, Pansy Johnson (Albert Sr) Dakota Plains Manitoba, Henry Johnson St. Michael, Wendell Johnson, St. Michael, special aunt Lillian Demarce, special nephew Joseph Johnson, and numerous other nieces and nephews.

Selma was preceded in death by her parents Henry Sr and Shirley Johnson; Husband Galen Whiteowl; Brother Michael Johnson and infant brother; Sister Eleanor Chappell, Selma Johnson; Nephews Wendelin Dubois and Rydell Johnson; Grandparents Thomas Cavanaugh and Lillian Redday; Great- Grandparents Walter Cavanaugh and Alice Cavanaugh.

Sorry if we forgot to mention anyone, it was purely unintentional.


The day you left us, was heartbreak and sorrow
The day you left us, we saw no tomorrow
The day you left us, we didn't understand
The day you left us, God had you by the hand
The day you left us, your family came together
The day you left us, we remember you forever
