Stanley E Johnson

Stanley E. Johnson “Stan” passed away on Tuesday, February 11, 2025 surrounded by family at the Samaritan Hospice in Mount Holly, New Jersey. He was 76 years old. Stan was born on November 24, 1948 in Mount Holly, New Jersey. He attended Sacred Heart Elementary School in Mount Holly as well as Northern Burlington Regional High School (Class of 1966). Stan proudly served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War for four years, from July 1967 to May of 1971. Stan’s career with the Navy took him around the world (including Hong Kong, Vietnam, Guam, Singapore, Philippines, and Japan) and he was a member of the Mobile Riverine Force on the USS Whitfield County. After his service to his country, Stan worked for 29 years at Inductotherm in Westampton, as well as spending 5 years at Two Jays Bingo Supply in Mount Holly (where he loved his title of “Stan the Bingo Man”). Stan was a former member of the Mount Holly Moose Lodge, American Legion Post 294 of Pemberton, and the VFW. Stan was a sports lover his whole life. He was a walking baseball encyclopedia and one of the biggest Phillies fans. He played CYO baseball in his younger years and then continued playing ball in high school and with various teams into his forties. He was a district winning wrestler for Northern Burlington. Stan also enjoyed bowling and playing billiards. He was a member of the C. Reed’s Men’s Pool Team from 1985 through 2000 and liked traveling to various bars throughout the area competing. Stan loved cheering on his daughter’s softball teams and often volunteered his time (after working long days) to help coach Dawn and her friends. In his later years, Stan could be found in the stands at his granddaughters’ softball games. Even a 40-minute drive to Atco couldn’t keep him from being Marina and Lizzy’s biggest cheerleader. Stan is survived by his devoted wife of 52 years, Karen S. Johnson (nee Morrow), his daughter Dawn Liedtka and her husband Chris of Atco, his loving granddaughters, Marina and Elizabeth, and numerous extended family members and friends. He is predeceased by his parents, Margaret (nee Prostler) and Edgar Johnson, his sister Elizabeth (Sugie) and his brother-in-law Ronnie, and his brother Allan. After the love of his family, Stan’s second biggest love was his hometown of Juliustown. He was affectionately known as “the Mayor” and spent countless hours traveling up and down Main Street, making sure the town was safe. Aside from his time in the Navy, Stan never left J-town. Friends and relatives are invited to visit with his family on Sunday, February 16th, 2025, at Perinchief Chapels, 438 High Street, Mount Holly, NJ 08060 from 6pm - 8pm and Monday, February 17th from 10am-11am. Funeral services for Stan will be held following the visitation at 11am at the funeral home. Burial and military honors will be at the Juliustown Methodist Cemetery following the services. The family requests casual attire (Stan hated dressing up!). In lieu of flowers, Stan would have appreciated donations to the Juliustown Volunteer Fire Company (P.O. Box 156, Juliustown, NJ 08042) in his memory.
