Selena Lee Sperry Johnson      May 7, 1979 - April 20, 2018



Selena Johnson, age 38, the youngest of two daughters grew up in Woodinville WA with a neighborhood of kids that were like family.  She attended Northshore schools and graduated from Woodinville High School, Class of 1997.  Selena was bright and funny and from a young age worked at her family's travel agency, Canyon Park Travel.  Selena loved to travel and backpacked throughout Europe and Australia.  Always an animal lover, Selena volunteered at PAWS (Progressive Animal Welfare Society) while still in high school.  Her first job there was to feed baby birds that had fallen out of nests until they could be released into the wild.  It was a dangerous job because she fell in love with the orphaned kittens she took home to foster and ended up adopting the orphans herself.  The staff at PAWS recognized how dedicated Selena was to caring for animals so they hired her to be a veterinarian's assistant.  When she mastered placing IVs in tiny kitten veins it occurred to her she could certainly start IVs on people.  This evolved into her career in nursing.  After volunteering for the Evergreen Hospice program she found her passion was helping the elderly.  Selena was a nurse in care facilities in Stanwood, Arlington, Marysville, Mt. Vernon and Kona HI.



Selena found the love of her life and best friend in Marty Johnson.  They were married in July 2011 and lived on Camano Island.  She is survived by her husband, Marty, parents, Lee & Melanie Sperry of Woodinville WA, sister, Corynne Dejong and nephews, Cohen & Kade of Bonney Lake WA, mother-in-law, Dorothy Faydo of Camano Island and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.  Selena joins her grandparents, Bud & Beulah Olsen of Davenport WA and aunts Barbara, Bonnie and Brenna in Heaven.
