Obituary - Liz Holum Johnson



I am very sorry to report the death of Liz Holum Johnson, 43, corporate
archivist at the H.B. Fuller Corp., on October 24, after a prolonged, courageous
battle with breast cancer.

Liz was a certified archivist, and very active in MAC and the SAA Business
Archives Section.  She served on numerous committees, including a term as chair
of the Business Archives Section in 1995/1996, and co-edited the Directory of
Corporate Archives in the U.S. and Canada.  She worked in historic preservation
for the Minnesota Historical Society and as the Records Manager and then the
Archivist for H.B. Fuller Corporation.

Liz was a supportive and kind person, an energetic advocate of business
archives, and was a great friend.  She will be sadly missed by her colleagues.
She leaves behind her husband and two young children.  Please keep Liz and her
family in your thoughts and prayers.

Memorial service Fri, Oct. 27, 2 p.m. at St. Andrews Lutheran Church, 900
Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi, Minnesota.  Private burial at Lakewood Cemetery,
Minneapolis.  Visitation from 4 to 8 PM, Thurs, Oct. 26, at the
Holcomb-Henry-Boom North Chapel, 515 Hwy 96 W., Shoreview, MN.

A group of Liz's colleagues are arranging a memorial donation - details will be
available in a few days for those who wish to contribute.
