She joined brothers,  Don, Glen and Harry. Her sister Betty and brother Larry would soon follow. The family was raised on the farm north of Brockway where she was a real tomboy and took after her father loving everything  horse. She spent many hours with her horses growing  up, something she continued  to enjoy her entire life. She loved riding and spent countless hours in the saddle or bareback and always enjoyed  a good horse race.<br \/>\n\t  She attended the Stoney Butte School, west of the farm, through the eighth grade. She continued her education  at Circle High School for her freshman and sophomore  year and then went on to Lustre Christian High School in Lustre for her junior  and senior years, graduating  in 1965. She then went to cosmetology school before returning to Circle in 1966.<br \/>\n\t  She started waitressing at the Midway Cafe in 1966, working with her aunt Margaret  Waldbauer. It was also in the Midway Cafe where she met her future husband, Willard \u201cBill\u201d Johnson, in January 1967. It didn\u2019t take long for the tall, dark-haired \u201cNorsky\u201d to convince his pretty, petite \u201cKraut\u201d to marry  him and that\u2019s exactly what they did on July 16, 1967. They affectionately called each other the \u201cNorsky\u201d and the \u201cKraut\u201d for the next 56 years.<br \/>\n\t  They lived in a variety of places in the early years, like Sidney and the Glasgow Air Force Base, but soon realized that McCone County was home and came back in the spring of 1972. Their son Garry  was born in 1968, daughter Kristie in 1972 and daughter Becky in 1973.
