Eight Bells Sandy Johnson

Apr 17, 2023

The marine industry is saddened to share the news of Sandy Johnson’s passing on Wednesday, March 29, 2023 at the age of 83. Sandy and her husband Terry bought Hamer Bay Marine on Lake Joseph in 1980. Today, the marina is owned and operated by her son Mike and daughter-in-law Sandra.

Sandy is survived by her husband Terry of 61 years, her children Susan Davidson (Carlos), Michael (Sandra) and Samantha Woitzik (Greg), and grandchildren Matt, Ben, Alex, and Nathan.

As expressions of sympathy, donations in Sandy’s memory may be made to the Northern Cancer Foundation or the West Parry Sound Health Centre Foundation.
