Nancy Johnson

Nancy Johnson, born on February 15, 1968, in Hancock, NY, passed away on June 7, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love and compassion. She dedicated her career to her work at NYCM, where her kindness and dedication were as evident as they were in all aspects of her life.

Nancy was a cherished individual who possessed an incredibly sweet and nurturing personality. She was known for her willingness to help anyone in need, embodying the belief that anyone she loved was family. Her candid nature and sincerity made her an unforgettable presence to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

An enthusiastic participant in her community, Nancy engaged deeply with the 4H program and was particularly proud of her agricultural roots. She often helped her brother, Dave, in carving up his pigs, a testament to her strong connections to family and her dedication to the farm. Her hobbies reflected her nurturing spirit; she loved gardening, crafting, and baking, finding joy in creating not only tangible items but also cherished memories for her loved ones.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Bryan Johnson whom she married on August 31, 1996; her son, Jordan; her brothers, David (Sue) Holbert, George (Deanna) Holbert, Joe (Bev) Holbert, Roger (Kris) Holbert; her sister, Carol (Greg) Thomas; her sister, Catherine Holbert; and her mother-in-law, Elaine (Clark/Johnson) Gage. Additionally, Nancy leaves behind her sister-in-law, Jodi Stage, as well as many nieces and nephews, and great-nieces and nephews, all of whom will carry forward her spirit of love and compassion.

Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Ed Holbert, her father-in-law, and her brother-in-law, Keith Stage. Her absence will be profoundly felt by all who knew her, but her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
