Johanna was born in 1837. She passed away in 1908. She is buried with her husband at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Saginaw, Saginaw County, Michigan, Section 12 - Lot 374 - 2nd SW
Despite some records spelling her surname as "Johns" I'm thinking that it is actually "Jorns" (or really "Jörns"). This is how it's spelled in multiple places in Henry and Johanna's obits.
One obituary notice, indicated that a Barney Jorns attended her funeral "from out of town" (specifically from Hartford, WI), along with Mrs. Gunst and Mrs. Barndt. I'm thinking that these people are Johanna's siblings or sibling's children.
